Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the
following:
Anemometer

Ideally mounted at least 32 feet, or 10 meters above ground level.

Try to make the anemometer the highest object around. 7 feet, or 2.75
meters) or more above the surrounding obstructions is best.
Rain Gauge

Ideally mounted at a height of 4 to 6 feet, or 1.5 to 2 meters above the
ground.

Ideally located at a horizontal distance of 4 times the height, above the
rain gauge, of the nearest obstruction.

Ensure the rain gauge is mounted level to the ground, away from any
horizontal surface that can introduce rain-splashing or surrounding snow
buildup.
