Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the mounting location of the sensor array can affect the proper and accurate measuring and reporting of weather data as well as affect the longevity of it’s sensors.

One example would be mounting the device too close to a surface/structure. In the below image, the radiant heat that is emitted from the surface can cause inaccurate temperature and humidity readings as well as premature sensor failure. The obstruction caused by the structure may lead to inaccurate wind speed, wind direction and rainfall readings as well.

Because the station is mounted to closely to the roof this can lead to the temperature and humidity sensor to fail prematurely.
