Where is Burrow Beach?
SO does anyone know what's going on with the Dollymount weather station?
http://www.puremagic.ie/weather/wdlive.html
Last readings are from 8th July. There were no readings for a long time before.
Obviously it is broken, but just wondering if anyone knew if it was going to be
fixed. Do we and the kitesurfers need to do a whip around to get it fixed. It
was very handy when it worked.
What is the exact location? Is it on the beach or on the roof of the Pure Magic
shop?
