We automatically take the lake temperature every 15 minutes and if you are connected to the Internet, it's available for you to check at any time, anywhere!

Using some very clever technology, the temperature is taken every 15 minutes and is beamed via a bespoke wireless signal to a gateway hub and uploaded into the cloud. From there we obtain the latest reading and display it here, on these web pages.

Currently we only have the one sensor (at the deep end) but with a little more generous crowd funding and some installation work from our great team of volunteers, we hope to soon install another at the shallow end.

Each sensor has its own, hard coded, unique identity and can only be used if connected into the cloud, so it's of no use if anyone should steal it!

It has been calibrated both in boiling water (100 degrees Celsius) and in slush (0 degrees Celsius) so is as accurate as we can make it.

Unless you put your own thermometer in exactly the same location as ours, you are very likely to get a slightly different reading. This is because although it may look still, water in the lake is constantly moving. If you would like to know more about the fascinating subject of water temperature, click on this link.

This system has been entirely paid for by generous swimmers and other water users crowd funding it! Thank you if you are one of them. Not everyone wants to know the temperature of the lake water so we didn't use hard come by MARLENS funds.
