It’s the weather station that’s professional, not the installation.
And it seems that those fine folks from Honeywell didn’t expect much in the way of professionalism–or brains–when it comes to setting up their professional weather station either.
Among the helpful installation tips are these:
In case your eyes are like mine, here’s what it says:
"Remote UV sensor, anemometer and rain gauge must be placed outdoors to measure weather elements…If you intend to measure outdoor temperature and humidity, place the remote sensor outdoors."
Now…lemme see if I got this right. If I want that doohickey to tell me how much rain we’re gittin’, I put the thingy outside. Same goes for that thermometer thingamajiggy if I want to know how hot it is outside. They won’t work right if I perch them here on the kitchen countertop.
Really, it’s Friday afternoon and I’m working on the weather station instead of my reports. But that’s only because it’s going to rain and I want to know how much rain we’ll be getting.
Must remember…rain gauge goes outside.
Off to buy a bazillion AA batternies now…
