Follow via RSSAt 45 SIAR network stations in Aragón (2004-2024), ET0 calculated from temperature alone rose at 36, while Penman-Monteith ET0 showed no significant trend at 33 and fell at 12. What this study allows you to conclude about which variables to measure, and what it does not.
On 2 October 2026 Copernicus published its review of the European summer: western Europe averaged a record 41 days of at least ‘strong’ heat stress. The index behind it combines four variables, and a station that logs only air temperature provides one of them.
Global solar radiation and PAR are not the same quantity and are not measured with the same sensor. Which decision needs which, how much the factor that converts one into the other changes with the sky, and what to record before installing.
After an AEMET special warning for a cut-off low, the week stays unsettled across most of Spain and the 2025-2026 hydrological year closes 2% above normal, with sharp regional contrasts. Four official signals and what to check in your own record.
A study published in 2025 compared CO2 readings at different points in Barcelona classrooms under several types of ventilation. In these classrooms, position and ventilation often mattered more than sensor accuracy, with differences of more than 100 ppm.
On 23 September 2026 AEMET published an analysis of temperature records: in Spain, between 2016 and 2025, there were 221 warm-day records against 7 cold-day records, when 51 of each were expected. What a record means at your own measurement point and what to log so that it means something.
Five decisions for installing a water temperature logger in a river: compare the sensors, look for shade, look for moving water, plan for the level dropping and choose the interval. With the limits of each source.
AEMET expects Atlantic fronts bringing rain, especially in the west, and locally heavy Mediterranean showers, after peninsular Spain's third driest summer since 1961. Four official signals and what to measure for each, starting with the soil.
The week in four signals and the tipping-bucket rain gauge guide, three European signals with their sources (Spain's warmest summer since at least 1869, Spanish reservoir storage and the new European Water Academy) and the close of the hydrological year on 30 September.
