This summer, I’ve monitored the UK’s heatwaves using the PASCO Wireless Weather Sensor - a compact & powerful tool packing a wide range of sensors into one device. So far, I've recorded 3 major heatwaves by July 18, and still counting! @pascoscientific @metoffice

Hoping for a holiday miracle. Was out of work for some time here before Christmas. At a new job now but oh Lord the effects of that are rough. If you are looking for arctic photography, please consider. See quoted tweet. 💚 Hoping I can be out shooting again soon. I miss it.

British electrical energy generation from wind power has jumped above 50% as storm Darragh passes. My @arduino environmental monitor has recorded a related sudden drop in air pressure in the last 24 hours. #StormDarragh @myGridGB @thingspeak https://t.co/CywYEsRrDM
