Weather Stations FCC

Weather Data from Schools across Fingal County Council is been made available on NASA's GLOBE Project online since December 2022Since 2021, schools across Fingal have been receiving automatic weather stations as part of an effort by Fingal County Council to produce more detailed rainfall, wind speed, wind direction and temperature records for the county. The information collected from the weather stations is visible on Met Éireann’s Weather Observations Website, WOW-IE, providing essential real-time weather data to the public and to Met Éireann, the OPW and Fingal County Council’s flood section.  The project began in 2021 with Fingal County Council issuing 100 rainfall gauges to primary schools and further advanced with 27 automatic weather stations installed across Fingal throughout 2022. 

Led by Executive Engineer Kevin Vallely, the project was funded by Fingal County Council’s Chief Executive’s Innovation Fund. The Fund covered the €5,000 start-up cost for rain gauges and provided support to get the innovative idea off the ground.
