Station 2132 At certain times, the wind indication will flip from SW to NE and stay there. This has been happening for a while now, with SPA and battery power. Latest occurrence was yesterday morning. Have had steady SW winds for a couple of days but indicator changed to NE yesterday and remains t…

Looking at your station data from yesterday, with temps near freezing and recorded precip, it’s possible you had snow or frozen liquid on the plate where the wind is measured. Does this ever happen on clear windy days, or just when it’s cold rain/snow?

something very weird going on with your station, and next to what SLOman suspects (I confirm) I see at several moments your battery voltage going wild. You use the SPA ? I took this from your station and as you can see it is going jojo. And at the same period there is no freezing temp but your ai…

Thanks for your help / pushed the green button / yes the solar panel is attached / rssi is -51 // sky has been up for about 23 hours since the episode // both times this has happened were during heavy rain and wind conditions but only when the gust velocity reaches above about 35 mph // no problem …

water on plate can be responsible for these weird wind readings but not the battery @wfsupport : can you please have a look at the raw data ? Something weird going on. Thanks

Hi Eric / new developments from here / solar panel battery voltage gradually fell below 2.2 V and sky dropped off line / removed solar battery assembly and installed 8 lithium AA cells / sky instantly reconnected / I plan to reinstall outside this weekend /// question: how do I get a replacement so…

I have a 3-month old Sky mounted on the solid metal fence (only ~2 foot height) with practically no vibrations possible. We have had several days with wind gusts 70-80 km/h. This morning it did the same thing as reported in the original post. It switched direction for 180 degrees and doubled the win…

At 7:30 AM it could be a condensed water drop ? What’s your stations ID I would like to have a look to the other parameter.

At 60 km/h real wind gusts I don’t think there would be water drops from condensation. https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/station/15259/grid

But it detected rain as will in the morning, is this a false detection either ? Don’t you have an Air connected ?
