Elands Bay weather station data
Weather station data from Elands bay measuring the rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Coastal, land based automatic weather stations situated in the West Coast of South Africa (Cape Columbine, Elands Bay and Port Nolloth have been actively collecting data for various project since 1982 until today at different locations. These instruments provide useful meteorological information for understanding coastal dynamics such as upwelling, ocean current movements and air sea exchange.
