Notes: 10-metre weather spire was built in 1951 and requires 1,007 lightbulbs. GREEN LIGHT at the tip of the beacon signals clear skies ahead. RED LIGHT suggests appraoching clouds. FLASHING RED warns of rain. When the rows of white lights flash in an ascending pattern, the temperature is expected to rise. A downward pattern predicts the opposite. When the beacon disappears completely, it's foggy!
