Sounds like you had a good anemometer/vane test with those wind speeds! 90 Km/h is a pretty healthy gust. Glad it all stayed up.

yeah really amazing how ws2080 as low price station stand on hard weather conditions

That's good to hear, I have the same WS set up for about 10 days and am awaiting some strong winds to compare with the local/official weather service.

another strong gale wind and heavy rain and hail storms and ws-2080 behaving very well with gust 105 KM/Hour , the lithium batteries are doing very good in severe conditions not signal loss at all
