Every time one of these insanely high measurements happens, it has been a day with almost no wind at all and the temperature had risen a lot in a short time.
So I think it's a thermal problem and I don't mean a malfunction, but a misreading caused by something like thermal updraft, maybe.

What do you think?
Well, I have the same experience (ref. my post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5620)

On both occasions it happened after a sudden change from cold to warm weather.

Unlike yours, mine never stopped reporting hurricane winds. It lasted for two days until I climbed up on the roof, took it inside and re-installed.

If it is a case of thermal updrift: how come mine were reporting gusts of 33 km/h when inside on my desk, and then reported calm conditions once re-installed? I find no logic in that.

...and it's nice to see that the wind-direction which is shown in the netatmo weather app is always exactly the same direction of the wind powerstation

I'm very happy with my wind gauge actually, I haven't had any real troubles with it yet (knock on wood) and it's been mounted for almost a month. It's giving me very reasonable readings actually. Although, one thing, have you guys also noticed that it reads higher when it rains?

My new anemometer shows always 2km/h as a minimum wind speed even if there is no wind at all.
Even indoor with all doors and windows closed and no one in the room. Anyone else having this issue?

I have had the same experience. During calm conditions, no wind at all, but the windspeed was never 0 km/h, always 1 km/h. So one more fix to do for Netatmo, the same for fixing the extreme high values for windspeed. Today for many hours more then 150 km/h. It was difficult to reset everything. It happened for the third time since start measuring with this windmeter in November last year. Hope on next version firmware 11 + 1 !

Interesting, today I had a symbol I've not seen before as wind direction (see attached image). I think it means the wind kept changing direction (swirling).

I've posted mine back to netatmo support as they wanted to check out my sensor.

It seems to work for a short period and then goes nuts with 3 notifications together telling me 40,50 and 68mph winds and then even higher.

I had the wind sensor in my kitchen overnight before packing it up and I got wind alerts of 68mph with a max recorded of 94mph. There was no wind in the,kitchen.

Whatever the issue is, I hope they can fix it.

Just had my first false wind reading. Occurred during some heavy rain, as you can see in the attached.
