“What a nifty Hat! It does a great job of doing exactly what's advertised-- it collects data about the weather and presents it to you in a great format. The sample code highlights the power of the HAT. Well done!
One minor nit (-0.1 star): I think hat is upside down. What do I mean? if the hat is plugged directly into a Pi, you can't stand it up on the Pi's side, as the bottom of the display is the same side as the Pi's power cord. While I could rotate the display 180° in software, all of the silk screening on the board would then be upside down.”

Sorry to hear that - if you drop us an email at support@pimoroni.com letting us know some more info about your setup (the version of Pi and Pi OS that you're using, what install methods you've tried and screenshots/photos of any errors you're getting) we'll do our best to help get it working.
“This is a lovely hat and works with my Pi weather station really, really well. I love the various python libraries that go with it and access to work done to store & display real time data. I love this device & recommend it unreservedly - brilliant.”
“This is only for experimenting not for any serious weather hobbyist. The sensors are way off and should not be shared with anyone. Weather Hat once used can not be returned. I tried to contact support but they never replied. On the forums, people tried to be helpful. That is why I gave it 3 stars. This is not just a weatherhat problem. I tried the Sense hat and Enviro+ for Raspberry Pi. They all had the same problem. They should not advertise this as a weather station. So if you want to experiment fine. but for weather reporting stay away.”
“Works well with the Pimoroni Python library. The only issue is the BME280 temperature sensor which provides unreliable readings due to the ambient heat of the PI. I decided to connect an external sensor using i2c”
