sensor for outside temperature and wind

My weather station has worked fine for the first few months but now I have blanks on the console for outside temperature and wind. I have checked connections and nothing seems to be loose. What should |I do?

Hi,

What about the external humidy and (eventually) rainfall count? If these are still working then moisture in the wind cable/connectors is a possibility.

However, the first thing to try is replacing the batteries in the transmitter and the console with fresh Alkaline cells. Certainly the batteries shouldn't have failed yet, but there are some poor quality and/or fake cells on the market. If the fault remains (or occurs again soon) then either faulty hardware or radio interference is suggested.

Cheers, Alan.
