1. Indoor display vs outdoor array
Look for clear displays plus outdoor temp/humidity at minimum. Wind and rain sensors suit gardeners and hobbyists tracking storms.
2. Solar sensors and Wi-Fi
Solar outdoor sensors cut battery swaps. Wi-Fi models push data to phones — check local network compatibility.
3. Mounting height and exposure
Mount wind/rain sensors away from roof eddies and under-drip lines. Follow the maker height guidance for sensible readings.
4. Calibration and Aussie UV
Expect UV and sun to age plastics — check seals. Compare readings to BOM nearby stations when curious, not as a lab standard.

7. FAQs
Do I need Wi-Fi on a weather station?
Nice for phone alerts. A good local display is enough for patio and garden decisions.
Where should I mount the outdoor sensor?
Shaded from direct midday sun for temp accuracy, open for wind, and clear of roof runoff for rain gauges.
Will it survive coastal air?
Choose well-sealed sensors and rinse salt film. Expect shorter life in harsh marine spray zones.
Can one station cover a large block?
Most kits are single-array. Large properties may need extra thermometers in microclimates.
