June has been a rather uneventful month so far weather wise, however the launch of the new Maleny Weather website has perhaps been the highlight for residents of Maleny.
It was rather fortuitous that in early June Alan Still began developing a new weather website for Maleny while unbeknown to Alan, Malcolm Somerville was collating historical weather data from some of the late Patrick Stacey’s weather files. After reading Malcolm’s article in the June Hinterland Times Alan and Malcolm met and decided to work together on a project to build a new Maleny Weather History site.
A telephone call to Alan from Kay Stacey, resulted in Kay kindly donating more of the late Patrick Stacey’s weather station logs, data folders and his weather equipment to our project. This enormous cache of information is currently being reviewed by Malcolm and Alan for inclusion in the “Maleny Weather History” section of Maleny Weather website.
Alan has as well been continuing the build on the Maleny Weather and Maleny Weather History websites incorporating Patrick’s data. The Maleny Weather Station equipment owned and operated by Alan is now able to provide UV and Solar Radiation data.
Our work has been noted in the Glasshouse Country and Maleny News and Your Time magazine.
All in Maleny have sorely missed the wonderful work that Mr Stacey provided for us with a local weather station. Full marks to Kay Stacey for assisting this new venture get off the ground. Alan and Malcolm, and to anyone else assisting them, a big thank you from all Malenyans for your investments and the hard work! I look forward to making positive use of your new weather site. I’m sure you will have developments and improvements as part of your strategy, but I have to say that it looks really great in its initial form.
