WEATHER
The Kentucky Mesonet is a network of automated weather and climate monitoring stations being developed by the Kentucky Climate Center at Western Kentucky University to serve diverse needs in communities across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. An expanding network of mesonet weather stations will allow scientists at the Kentucky Climate Center, housed in the Department of Geography and Geology to collect and distribute climatic data.
Bernheim is proud to support the mesonet effort by hosting the Bullitt County collection station. Data from the Kentucky Mesonet will be available in every K-12 classroom throughout the commonwealth to support science and math education. Faculty and students in Kentucky's eight public universities are charter members of the Kentucky Mesonet Consortium.
You can find out more about mesonet at www.kymesonet.org.
