About This Station
The station is powered by a Davis Vantage Vue weather station. The data is collected every few seconds and the site is updated every 5 minutes. This site and its data are updated using Davis Weatherlink Software. The station comprises an anemometer, a rain gauge and a thermo-hydro sensor, all situated to one side of an orchard on a north-east slope 650 feet amsl. The orchard is sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly wind and the measured wind speed can be substantially lower than the surrounding area if the wind has a southerly component.
About Mosser
Mosser was originally a small rural township south of Cockermouth, Cumbria. It now (since 1934) forms part of the parish of Blindbothel. The boundaries of the township were those of an estate granted to Adam de Mosser c.1203.
After enfranchisement in 1625, ownership of land in Mosser was fragmented into small freeholds. In the 18th century, one freeholder, Isaac Fletcher kept a long-running diary which gives an interesting insight to life in those times (Diary of Isaac Fletcher of Underwood, Cumberland, 1756-81 ISBN 978-1873124208).

Mosser today is a scattered hamlet with a few larger farms.
