### Your Own Personal Weather Forecast
You've bought a **home weather station** - maybe to track rain for the garden, monitor temperature, or just because you're a weather nerd.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Where you mount the outdoor sensor makes a huge difference to accuracy. Wrong spot and your readings will be miles out.

### Why Sensor Placement Matters
| ✅ Mounted Right | ❌ Wrong Spot | |-----------------|---------------| | Accurate temperature readings | 5 degrees higher than reality (sunny wall) | | Rain gauge catching properly | Reading half actual rainfall (under overhang) | | Wind speed realistic | Blocked by building, reading zero | | Barometer calibrated to altitude | Pressure way off |
Your £50-200 weather station only works **if the sensors are positioned properly** and calibrated to your location.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Find Best Locations I'll look at your garden/property and work out where each sensor should go for accurate readings - away from heat sources, good airflow, representative of actual conditions. ### Step 2: Mount The Hardware Fix outdoor sensor to wall, fence post, or wherever makes sense. Rain gauge needs to be level and unobstructed. Anemometer needs height and clear air. ### Step 3: Configure and Calibrate Set up the display unit, sync with sensors, calibrate barometer to local pressure, connect app if it's a smart model.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Want to compare with official readings?** The Met Office has a weather station somewhere in Exeter. Your readings should be similar but will vary based on your exact location - valleys are colder, hills are windier, built-up areas hold heat. **Smart weather stations** can feed data to Weather Underground or similar networks - share your readings with weather nerds worldwide. I can set that up if your model supports it. **Maintenance:** Clean rain gauge every few months (leaves and debris). Check batteries before winter. Recalibrate pressure annually or if you notice it's drifting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Weather station setup in Teignmouth
Where should the outdoor sensor be mounted?
Somewhere with good airflow, out of direct sunlight, away from walls that radiate heat. Usually about 2m high on a north-facing wall or fence post works well. I'll find the best spot when I see your garden.
Do weather stations need WiFi?
Depends on the model. Basic ones just transmit to the display unit wirelessly (no WiFi needed). Smart ones connect to your WiFi and show data on your phone. I'll set up whichever type you've got.
How accurate are home weather stations?
Pretty good if they're positioned right. Temperature usually within 1-2 degrees, barometric pressure very accurate. Rain gauges work well unless you mount them under a tree. Wind speed can be variable depending on local turbulence.
What if readings seem wrong?
Usually calibration or positioning. If temperature's way off, sensor might be in direct sun or too close to a heat-radiating wall. I'll check placement and calibrate against known values.
Can you mount it on my wall or does it need a pole?
Either works - depends what you've got and what came with the station. Wall mounting is fine for most sensors. Anemometers (wind) work better on a pole or roof mount for clear airflow.
