You appear to be surrounded by trees, how accurate is your wind reading?

[ryan hothersall]

Wind readings seem to be reasonably accurate.

I decided to limit the size of the pole to 5 metres as if it was any longer I would need guy wires to steady it and at 5 metres it is still manageable to lower the pole for wx station maintenance.

Weather stations set up in backyards are usually a compromise because not many people have a big backyard.

Other readings such as temp, rainfall, humidity etc are quite accurate.
