Scaffold pole is expensive and they're not cut at the right length.

Hi 4wd, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I can't change the setup now as it's all in place and a scaffold pole wasn't going to work with the installation as it's rather expensive and heavy. Also, we need guy wires to hold the poles in place. I need the height for the anemometer and wind vane. I don't agree with "Guy wires are always kind of clumsy", what do you think holds the TV masts in place? Guy wires. Also, they offer better stability in longer term. Thanks!

Hi guys, Recently, I've increased the height of my Davis Vantage Vue up to 8 m by connecting 5 1.5 m interconnecting aluminum poles together, however even though the unit is level (with the help of guy wires) the other poles aren't quite straight and there's a curve visible in the structure from the certain directions. I want to make this straight for when I replace the unit with a Davis Vantage Pro2 on Friday. Is there any way I can make sure that the poles are completely straight from bottom to top? Thanks, William

Correct!

I'm here! There were quite a few lightning strikes to the south of here in Exeter but unfortunately they were too far away to hear the thunder from them. However, there was torrential rain at times!

The unit has been dropped to 2 meters and the data was reset at 08:24.

Thanks for your advice, vizzy2004. I have thought about that option, but it might look quite strange. I think it may be best asking nicely for a Davis Vantage Pro 2 for Christmas and just putting up with the current setup for now. I may drop the unit to 2 meters before then, will just have to see. Thanks!

Hello! My Davis Vantage Vue has been at a height of 6 meters for over 5 years and I am looking to either change the height of the unit or replace it with a Davis Vantage Pro 2 in the near future. My main issues with the current setup is the inaccurate rainfall readings during high winds and sometimes inaccurate temperature readings especially when it's frosty. I want to change this setup at some point but wondering whether I should change the setup with the Davis Vantage Vue or just replace it with a Davis Vantage Pro 2? What do you guys think? Cheers, William

I'm not surprised, I saw loads of lightning strikes from a thunderstorm over Poole on 03 July 2015.

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

That's sick!

Yes, I watched it on your webcam, it was crazy!

There are thunderstorms W and E of here.

Interesting, as the wind direction would be SE not S and there would be snow as SW parts of the UK would be close enough to the low if the uppers were cold enough.

Especially for SW parts of the UK!
