Statement

Maplin Professional Solar Powered Wi-Fi Weather Station (Maplin N23DQ) installed at Galu and Munje provide high quality climate data of measured outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and solar / UV radiation from the all-in-one outdoor sensor. The instrument is solar powered and the data can be directly downloaded or with Wi-Fi uploads to Wunderground (www.wunderground.com) where the data can then be downloaded via the Internet. The data was obtained at 5 minute resolution then aggregated to daily resolution.
