	Do cows really lie down on the ground before it rains? Does a farmer in Cumbria really rely on a red sky at night? Well BBc One's The Great British Weather celebrating and tapping into the UK's obsession with weather will help us find out.

Weather Folklore v State of the art Weather Station

Specialist meteorological reporter Tomasz Schafernaker on BBC One's The Great British Weather, puts weather folklores like these to the test to demystify some of the science behind elements of the weather in this country. Using Skyviews' state of the art Wireless Vantage Pro2 PLUS station current wind speed & direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, pressure along with Solar & UV irradiance levels can be recorded and digested at the touch of a button.

Can cows pick up on current wind speed and pressure indicating a change by lying down to chew the cud? Using a Wireless Vantage Pro2 PLUS meteorologist Tomasz tries to find a link between cows lying down and any changes in current weather conditions. The might of scientific weather forecasting is no match for those cows!

How Much Rain Falls Where you Live?

Britain is the rainiest country in western Europe, and if you live in the west of the country you are likely to be drenched more often than in the east. The Great British Weather, coming live from the stunning location of Ullswater in the Lake District, investigates why.

Skyview can help viewers at home monitor how much rain they receive with the new CM1016 Professional Manual Rain Gauge. Why not follow Tomasz's simple instructions on how to make you own rain gauge and see how it compares to records from a professional monitoring solution like the CM1016.

England and Wales have been keeping accurate rainfall records since 1766, that's how long we have been moaning the weather! These records are kept so that average rainfall spatially over the country and in time over the years can be calculated and we can actually see changes in the climate. You can help record rainfall in your area with the CM1016 Rain Gauge and CM5011 Rainfall Chart and you never know your results may even be used by the Met Office.

The Great British Weather is a four-part show that taps into our obsession with weather, and will come live from a different location each week. Skyview's state of the art wireless weather stations will feature alongside presenters to help the public understand why our British weather does what it does. Tune in to the BBC iPlayer now to catch up on all of The Great British Weather equipment workshops.
