Well, I have the same experience (ref. my post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5620)GEORGzer wrote:So today was another "hurricane out of nowhere" day for me and I think I figured out what causes this phenomenon.
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?
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.
