Weather station is powered from solar panel. The standard wind measurement should be taken at 10 meters above the ground. Weather station should have good "fetch", or distance from any other tall object. If you place your weather station in an alley, you could very well get a wind tunnel effect on the anemometer, resulting in erroneous wind data. If weather station is located under a tree or an overhang, the rainfall data measured by the station will not be correct. The location weather station is the most important part of installation.

Step 8: Installing Personal Weather Station Wind Vane – A wind vane, or weather vane, is an instrument that determines which direction the wind is blowing.ĥ) Ventus W174 rain gauge measures rainfall or liquid precipitation ESP8266 weather stations can display wind speed in MPH, KPH or knots, and record current, peak and average wind speed readings. A barometer can help to forecast upcoming weather based on the changes it measures in the atmospheric pressure.Ĥ) Davis 6410 anemometer measures how fast the wind is blowing, or wind speed. Humidity influences environmental factors and calculations like precipitation, fog, dew point and heat index.īarometer ( BME280 ) – A barometer measures atmospheric pressure. Relative humidity is the quantity or percentage of water vapor (water in gas form) in the air. You can measure both the temperature indoors and outdoors, record highs and lows, show trend arrows to indicate temperature rising or falling, and even predict short-term future temperature ranges.ģ) Hygrometer ( BME280 )- A hygrometer measures relative humidity. 2) Thermometer Dallas DS18B20 thermometer measures temperature.
