Topic: Vantage Vue. Wind Speed Accurate?

[SSR]

Hi folks,

Is anyone aware of an issue with the Vantage Vue reporting low wind speed?

We've had some 50mph plus winds here a few times over recent months, yet it's rare for my Vue to report anything over 20mph.

Just curious if it's a known issue.

Thanks

the Vue can only report the wind speeds that it experiences. Most likely low observed speeds are to do with the height and exposure of your Vue sensor.

Mine reports about 1/2 the value of other nearby wind sensors (both well-sited and high quality) and that's just because mine is poorly sited for wind.
