The centre was established in 1998 and issues local forecasts for the county as well as maintaining a detailed and continuous weather record.
However, manual observations were recommenced in 2018 when the site was incorporated into the Met Office network of climatological monitoring stations.
The Weather information is now available via Twitter and Facebook as well as smartphone apps for iPhone and Android.
An extensive archive of county weather records is held by the station which date back to 1880 and the station continues to receive weather records from a number of sites from across the county.
The station enjoys the patronage of broadcast meteorologists Michael Fish MBE (now retired) and Alex Deakin.
