Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How Does a Digital Weather Station Work? 

A: A digital weather station works by using sensors to measure indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity conditions. Some home weather station products use wind vanes to collect data on wind direction and speed as well. Most digital weather stations consist of two or more separate parts: a display unit that is typically installed indoors and one or more digital sensors that are typically installed outdoors.


Q: Are Digital Weather Stations Accurate?

A: Yes, digital weather stations are extremely accurate when installed properly. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation of your device. An AcuRite weather station is manufactured to meet the following accuracy standards:


• Wind speed: Plus or minus 1 mph when the wind is blowing less than 10 mph

• Rain: Plus or minus 5%

• Wind direction: plus or minus 3 degrees


A digital weather station can be extremely valuable if you're interested in learning more about weather patterns or if you simply want to be prepared for day-to-day changes in the weather.


Q: Where Is the Best Place to Put a Home Weather Station?

A: Most weather stations should be mounted 4 to 6 feet above the ground. There should be no obstructions nearby that could block the wind and lead to a faulty reading. Mount the weather station level to the ground and keep it away from any surface that could become buried with snowfall or cause rain to splash up onto the unit.
