My 5in1 Pro was just as accurate as surrounding Davis instruments when it was working properly but reliability suffered. The fan would run when it wanted too and when it didn't I would have 10% higher...

When you buy a weather station, I recommend taking a good look at the radiation shield, because if the shield is not sufficient, all your readings are going to be way out of line. The air sensor itself...

Having the outside temp separate from the wind and rain gauges should be a simple way to get much more accurate data. This sure would eliminate a lot of kludge-like fixes such as solar powered fans,...

I didn't devise it, that credit goes to Docbee of Meteobridge, and Kevin Key. Both methods work nicely. My experience is that the high wind itself gets into the system and tilts the see saw spoons. If...

At night, you will have high humidity in many locations. It is normal for the dewpoint to meet the point of saturation.

Don't have your type station but most WX units have to be set up on 3rd party software for rain years like yours. Not everywhere has an separate rain year. Seem like only in the Sw area. Here where I...
