This web site and the data collected from the weather station were made possible by a generous gift to the CLN Science Department from La Asociación de Padres de Familia de Colegio Los Nogales. We thank them for their support of science and of weather enthusiasts around the world.

The meteorological station at Colegio Los Nogales receives and records data from a Davis Vantage Pro 2 Wireless Weather Station and utilizes Davis WeatherLink software. The Integrated Sensor Suite (a collection of temperature, rain, humidity, barometric, wind speed and direction, solar radiation and ultraviolet radiation sensors) collects the data from the roof of the library and transmits it to the Vantage Pro 2 console located inside the 6th grade Earth Science classroom. These students now have the opportunity to learn about the weather directly from their local environment. Students collect and analyze the data in order to make predictions based on mathematical trends.

Bogotá has two main seasons of rain, from April to June and October to December, the latter being the heaviest, although as anyone who has tried to walk in the city knows, it can rain at any time and on any day.

Colegio Los Nogales is a private, Catholic, pre-Kindergarten through grade-12 collegiate-preparatory school located at the northern end of the Andean plateau in Bogotá, Colombia.
