This will be my first weather station, as you can probably tell by my post count. I'm glad to be part of so many knowledgeable weather enthusiasts. Anyway, I've looked through the forum and tried to get some help with my topic by looking at other threads.
I'm trying to decide between a home WS and a portable one. For the most part, I understand their differences, just not sure which would be best for me. Here's what I want to do:
• Keep tabs on the weather outside my home.
• I do a lot of hiking and outdoor stuff, so I need to relay on the weather. I'm not sure if one would be better than the other.
• I would like to log the data, but I don't think I'll be setting up a weather website anytime soon.
• I do love the idea of looking at my desk and knowing what the weather is like outside.
• A handheld meter would be great if I'm on my bike or out in the woods and could keep track of any inclement weather.
• I was looking Davis' WS and Kestrel meters.
My home is another question regarding any WS setup. I've included a google map view. The roof is too steep. I have a front porch, but the anemometer would be blocked by the rest of the home. I have a shed (which I included) but the wind would be affected by the area trees (which are 40-50ft high). I have a backyard, but the home and trees would block the wind. I just want something that would be as accurate as possible.
I hope this helps and any advice would be much appreciated!
