Weather installation is a process that asks for great due diligence. Every instrument you plan to use probably asks for a specific installation place. A rain gauge for example has to be installed away from trees, and so does a wind vane. A thermometer has to be well ventilated to gather correct data. Below we explore how you should collect the major weather conditions, to help you understand where you can best install your home weather station .
Rain Collection
Simple fact: You collect rain data using a rain gauge. But where should install a home rain gauge? Place it at least 5 ft. away from any building. There is a reason to explain this. Sometimes, rains fall with the help of wind; meaning that if there is a building to block the wind pushing rain towards your rain gauge, you will probably not correct any data. However, short obstructions like a post measuring 10 ft. high or lower may not have any impact on the results you collect.
