A late Xmas present

The lovely Kee just bought me a late Christmas present, she's a darling.
It's a mini weather station with a remote sensor that sits outside and also predicts cloud cover up to a 50km radius.

We set it up and it said cloudy and sure enough there was cloud to the horizon. about half an hour ago it changed to clear sky so I went out at had a look and sure enough clear skies everywhere and right out to horizon which is about 50 km for me.
The little thing is pretty accurate and what amazes me is the technology that goes into these, imagine twenty years ago you probably needed twenty squares of office space for a computer that would predict something like this.

Cheers
