Did you use Lithium batterys for your outdoor sensors Jr. I believe with those units rain gauge and temperature sensor require batterys.
No it says you only need lithium for temperatures -20C and below. Customer service told me not to use lithium on the monitoring station. Not sure why.

My first weather station was this:
7465054c83d6bcc5d2f50c77787154d9.jpg
It had a really hokey fluid barometer, a wet and dry bulb thermometer and the wind gauge. It was fun though, because there was a wheel where you'd dial in you wind direction and temp and it would have a corresponding forecast. The very first night it told me it was going to snow. And it actually did- Nov 18 1977.
Woah!! That's so cool lol I always wonder what made all of us weather fans at a young age. Unfortunately mine was because of the weather network the screen would go all red when there was a warning lol at age 6 I was like holy shi*
Jr. PM me if your interested l've got a never used weather station l got last Christmas it's Acurite but a better model you might like. It's still in the box like new, l ended up getting the Ecowitt.

Thanks so much. For now I'm just going to make do with the one I have. I would still need to figure out if there is a way I could mount a 5 in one station. I assume yours has a wind sensor and stuff that would need to be mounted fairly high for accuracy? I could perhaps mount it on a 4 ft post in my backyard but that seems pretty low and I don't know how accurate it would be for wind at that location.
I'll take some pictures and maybe somebody can give me suggestions. I can not attach it to our house at all due to strata rules.

No it's the same as yours only with a color display and lightning detector. It's model no. 01021M have a look its on Acurite's web site or Amazon.
