The co-ordinates are taken outside the fence near the road. Take care and watch for traffic when approaching the weather station. The fenced area contains two Stevenson screens that contain the Thermometer, Barometer, and Hygrometer. There is a Rain Gauge there too.
The Anemometer and Wind Direction are on a pole out near the taxiway. I suspect that the location of the present weather station may have been subject to swirling conditions due to the expansion of the Terminal. To return to more correct readings, the instruments were moved out onto the Airport grounds.
The readings from the station over the past 24 hours can be seen here.
