If a nearby obstruction is just over 5 feet away, that obstruction should be no more than 10 feet tall.Below is a list of the most common issues and fixes for Aercus Instruments weather stations.The rain collector should be placed with at least 5 feet horizontal clearance from the nearest obstruction.In such an event, your station's rain collector is bound to miss a lot of falling rain because of the "shadow" cast by the building. Imagine if there's a building nearby to the west, and it is raining with a west wind. You want the Rain Collector (or, Rain Gauge) to receive rainfall as if it were in the middle of a large field. Hence, make sure the humidity sensor is at least 50 feet away from the nearest tree or body of water. Plants and bodies of water influence humidity measurements. Humidity measurements should reflect the humidity of the general atmosphere in your location. This aluminium sheet should shield the sun at all times and have plenty of ventilation. A cheaper solution if you cannot use a radiation shield is to use a sheet of aluminium mounted about 6 inches from the thermometer.

In fact, siting influences the accuracy of weather readings much more than the quality of the weather instruments themselves. Siting is the single most important factor in ensuring accurate readings.
The process of deciding how and where to install your weather station is called "Siting". In order to report accurate weather information you must take care in deciding where to place your weather station. Your weather station should have good "fetch", or distance from any other tall object. If you place your weather station in an alley, you could very well get a wind tunnel effect on the anemometer, resulting in erroneous wind data.
If your weather station is located under a tree or an overhang, the rainfall data measured by the station will not be correct. The location of your weather station is the most important part of installation.
