Weather Station and Website Information

The realtime-live weather data displayed on this site is collected by a RainWise MK-III personal weather station currently located in Millis, Ma - relocated approximately 4.5 miles from it's previous location in Medfield, Ma in May 2012. The data is collected every 2 seconds and uploaded to the website using Weather Display software every 5 seconds. The station comprises of an anemometer, barometer, rain gauge, temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. Dewpoint is calculated by the MK-III unit using temperature and humidity data.

The data collected by the RainWise weather station is uploaded to the National Weather Service MADIS program in addition the Weather Underground (Wunderground) and others. This data is also used to generate the historical reports on this web site. Weather forecasts and other information not collected by the RainWise station in Millis are provided by organizations such as the National Weather Service, Wunderground (Weather Underground) and USGS just to name a few. Most of the display pages and scripts that make the pages work are created by owners of Personal Weather Sations such as this one, and these generous individuals offer their work for others to use via their individual websites as well as the Weather-Watch.com Forum which was created for users of Weather Display software and the WXForum.net Forum created for all weather enthusiasts.

History of Medfield

The story of Medfield begins in Dedham, which originally included the territory that is now Medfield as well as several other towns. Dedham was incorporated in 1636 and by 1640 Dedham men started farming and pasturing animals along the broad meadows and continuous plains of our area. The land was perfect for farming because of the Indian custom of burning the fields each November to provide grazing for wild game. Our area was first known as Dedham Village........ More
