m (→‎Where should I position the wind sensors: added explanation re wind chill)
If you are positioning away from a building or tree (or other object) of height 'h' (or the mean height of several objects is 'h'), then the distance away depends on which standard you are trying to meet, and can vary between 1.5 and 3 times 'h'.
 
In the UK, the recommended height is 10 metres. Advice varies on whether you should apply a correction factor for any lower height. Cumulus allows you to apply such a factor to either just wind speed, or wind speed and gust speed, by using the Calibration screen within the configuation menu. In the Cumulus Help it recommends that you also adjust wind chill factor- in practice this means ask Cumulus to ''calculate wind chill'' by selecting this in the settings frame on the '''station settings screen accessed from configuration menu''' (ignore any wind chill output by your weather station).
