About This Station

The station is powered by a Davis VP2 Wireless weather station. The first Davis VP2 was installed in 2007 and replaced in 2022. The station is comprised of an anemometer, rain gauge, and a thermo-hydro sensor situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible. Data accuracy checks are performed daily by MADIS. Data is collected realtime by a dedicated Quad Core 2.0ghz Windows 10 Pro PC, which updates the website every 9 seconds. This site and its data is collected using Weather Display Software. AuburnWeatherLive.com data is also sent to the following locations approximately every 10 minutes: National Weather Service and Northeastern Weather Network. In addition, automated Weather Condition emails are sent to Boston Television Stations 5, 7, 25, and NECN throughout the day. This site has a UPS battery backup system which will allow it to fully operate for 90+ minutes in the event of a power failure. The Davis Weather Station will continue to collect data during a power outage for up to a week and will update the website once power is restored - no lost data.

About This City

Auburn was first settled in 1714 and was officially incorporated in 1778 as the town of Ward, in honor of American Revolution General Artemas Ward. The town changed its name to Auburn in 1837, after the Post Office complained that the name was too similar to the nearby town of Ware. Before incorporation, most of Auburn was known as the South Parish of Worcester; other portions fell within the town limits of Leicester and Millbury. Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from his Aunt Eiffie's farm in Auburn on March 16, 1926. Goddard is commemorated in Goddard Memorial Park located downtown next to the Auburn Fire Department Headquarters. In this park there is a model of Dr. Goddard's prototype liquid fueled rocket and a Polaris Ballistic Missile (Type A-1). In addition, there is a small memorial commemorating the feat on the actual site where Goddard launched his rocket.[1] (The memorial is located between the 1st and 9th holes on Pakachoag Golf Course.) .
