Weathercom

Weathercom mounts on a mast or pole. Level the unit, align the wind sensor to north, connect power, and it starts sending data to Envizom.

Pick an open spot on site, away from buildings, trees, and heat sources such as exhausts or dark roofs, so wind and temperature readings aren't distorted.

Yes, when open ground is not available. Use a mast that lifts the sensors well above the roof, and keep them away from edges, vents, and AC units.

Install it in an open, level area away from buildings, trees and anything that blocks wind or casts shade.

Following WMO guidance, mount wind sensors at 10 m in open terrain and temperature and humidity sensors at 1.25 to 2 m. Keep the rain gauge clear of shelter and splash, and the solar sensor fully unshaded.

Weathercom runs on solar or AC power with battery backup. Connectivity options include GSM/LTE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and LoRa.

Inspect and clean the sensors, especially the rain gauge and solar sensor, every 3 to 6 months, and verify calibration annually. The ultrasonic wind sensor has no moving parts, which keeps maintenance low.

Yes. Weathercom works directly with Envizom and can share data with SCADA or third-party systems through APIs and Modbus. Weather thresholds can trigger alerts and automated actions.

The essentials are wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, pressure and rainfall. Solar radiation is a useful addition for dispersion studies and site operations.

Match the sensors to your main risk: wind for construction, ports and mines, rain and solar for agriculture, and higher accuracy for research. Then check power, connectivity and ruggedness for the site.

Wind data shows where dust or odour came from and where it is going, while humidity and rain explain why levels rise or fall. This separates your site's contribution from outside sources.

The main factors are poor siting (nearby obstructions or surface heat), dirty or blocked sensors, incorrect mounting height or levelling, and overdue calibration.

Weather records show the conditions during an exceedance and support complaint investigations. They also guide daily decisions, such as pausing dusty work in high wind or planning around rain.
