Choosing Location
The best location for your weather station is one that is free of obstruction and at an elevation
high enough to prevent interference to the anemometer (wind sensor) from nearby trees or
buildings.
Ideally, the station should be no closer to an obstruction than 10X the obstruction’s height.
