QUICK MOUNTING TIPS

WIND SPEED
- Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically – an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.
- Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid educed wind speed values.
RAIN
- Mount in an open area, preferably off the ground on a level platform.
- Clean out the bucket regularly to avoid debris; this can affect readings.
THERMO-HYGRO
- Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.
- We recommend mounting it on a north-facing wall under an eave or deck for best results.

AccuWeather Wind Direction
Custom Data Streams

ADVANCED FORECAST & CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION

IMPORTANT:
There may be small discrepancies between data displayed on your station and data shown through other AccuWeather services, such as their website and/or mobile app. This is common, as there are differences in the timing in which forecast data is fetched by these items. Our connected weather stations will receive forecast updates at least 4 times daily.

ACCUWEATHER HI/LO TEMPERATURES

When connected, your daily AccuWeather HI/LO Temperature predictions will display in this section.
If unconnected, this section will display your Outdoor Temperature Records registered daily by your

Thermo-Hygro Sensor. These will automatically reset at Midnight everyday.

FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE

Your “Feels Like” temperature is a combination of outdoor temperature, humidity and wind speed.

When outdoor temperature is higher than 80˚F, Heat Index will show as the Feels Like Temperature.
When outdoor temperature is lower than 50˚F, Wind Chill will show as the Feels Like Temperature.
When outdoor temperature is between 51˚F and 79˚F, will show Current Outdoor Temperature as the Feels Like Temperature.

Note: When you have a high humidity reading, but the temperature is not over 80°F the Feels Like temperature will remain the same as the current outdoor temperature.

PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION
The words “Wind Direction” will show, and the blue circle will change to indicate wind direction. The blank section is prevailing wind direction.
