Due to all the trees in my suburban back yard, I have for a good while had my Davis VP2 wirelessly set up on the inaccessible 2nd story roof.
Of course, besides not being able to get to it, it's rain counts fall significantly under what other stations in my neighboorhood report online.
I have a manual gauge on a side fence with a less than optimum view of the sky between the houses and with trees near but not straight overhead, and even it reports more rain than my fancy Davis gauge up there at 25 feet in the wind. I read that wind causes the station to under-report.
So, should I move the ISS down to 6 feet and just leave the anemometer up high? I would have to look into a 2nd wireless transmitter for it.
I thought about a 2nd wireless rain gauge, but this seems to not be supported.
