I was using a Hobby Boards / AAG 1-wire system for many years, but since about 2020 I had numerous problems, in particular spikes in humidity. I decided to retire the system and now have a Davis Vantage Pro2. Very happy with it.
My brother has asked me to suggest a weather station for him. He lives in the Sonora district of Mexico, 100 metres from the Gulf of California / Sea of Cortez. He asked about an ultrasonic wind instrument (speed, direction, gusts), indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, rainfall, atmospheric presure and possibly lightning.
I found the Ambient Weather WS-5000. It seems (relatively) cheap for an ultrasonic wind instrument and I also wonder how well it would cope with sea air.
I’d be interested to hear any opinions of this instrument, or similar from other manufacturers.
Thanks
