Install your weather station​

This is one of the most important steps, as proper installation is key in order to collect valid weather data. For this step, you will need a pole that is at least 2m/6.5ft and a way to secure it in place (both not included in the box). Here you will also see the best practices on how to properly install the station according to WMO.
