I’ve had my Netatmo Weather Station for a few months now and recently added the wind and rain gauges to it but am not sure if the wind speed/gusts are really true?
They seem rather lower than I would expect them to be like right now Dark Sky weather says the wind here is 23mph with slightly stronger gusts yet my wind anemometer is reading 2mph and 7mph gusts.
I haven’t been able to put it as high as it ‘should’ be outside but have used the calibration setting to set it at the height I’ve actually put it.
Is it common that the forecasted wind is higher or could it be something else?נערות ליווי במרכז

Re: Wind anemometer accuracy?
I got same fealing.
I upgraded my weather station to a Netatmo with rain gauge and wind.
But I kept the old one and my netatmo wind gauge shows Very wrong.
Today I got average wind at around 6 m/s and netatmo shows average winds at 2 m/s

Interesting insights. I thought the wind speeds registered were “slower” than reality.
