Weather station issues
Tuesday, September 12, 2023 6:29 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
I was blindsided by fog because the humidity sensor was evidently reading far too low. We really need a reliable humidity gauge.
Solution:
Weather station PC was hung and not updating, or at least not updating properly. A full reboot corrected the humidity issue. I did however also find that the wind speed never changed from 0mph. Appeared to be a failed magnetic reed switch in the cup section of the unit (directionality of wind was still updating). I ordered a new anemometer for the station but today found a spare in a cabinet so went ahead and swapped it out. This one appears to be working.
