WMO03784, Gravesend-Broadness

51 27 52N 00 18 41E
Altitude 3 metres

Newcomers, there is history on the Talkshop with this site.

I left this one to near the end hoping what to do would be obvious, it isn’t, I think I would throw my hands up in horror, I don’t know what to make of it.

Unfairly I know the actual Stevenson screen location: I would probably have chosen the concrete base of the wind mast. The berm is not visible. This particular view has (I assume) standing water.

    “if we go by the met-office/wmo guidlines then Gravesend would be a Grade 4 at best which if i recall can create a deviation of up to 2C”

    Something which needs to be made clear to readers.

    Such an error is in my view an understatement but only applies in a general sense.

    The meaning is: Will read x amount differently over some unspecified time period and weather circumstances relative to a full and good Class 1 site.

    It might or might not apply to long term error.

    A shadow for 10 minutes or Donna Nook?

    The whole thing can be very subtle.
