About Southeastern Kentucky  Weather Station
My first weather station was established in Western North Carolina in February of 2007, primarily due to the lack of local weather information, our rural area has no media serving this area.  In March of 2017, a hardware failure, ended transmissions from the station.  During 2017, we made a decision to move on to Kentucky, on a more level piece of ground.

Southeastern Kentucky Weather Station was re-established in August of 2017. SoutheasternKentuckyWeather.com equipment is powered by a Davis Instruments Wireless Vantage Pro2, with 24-Hour Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield weather station. The data is collected every 2 seconds and the site is updated every 15 minutes. The station is comprised of an anemometer, a rain gauge, UV, Sun strength and a thermo-hydro sensor situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible.
