Wind speed is inaccurate on Acurite weatherstation?


I have a Acu-rite weather station. Last night we had a storm with winds close to 50 mph, but the weather station peaked out at 9mph. The outdoor unit is less than 30 feet to the indoor unit. Anyone have any suggestions to take care of this problem

I personaly use two Anamometers
The Acu-rite I have found that they are inacurate in all aspects. they are not as well built as say Oregon Scientific, La Cross or several high end stations.

I run Two Ananamometers 1 from inspeed http://www.inspeed.com and the other my la Cross. although both acurate the actual stations do 1min samples so it is inherent to possably miss a peak gust rather the inspeed gives actual live readings. so I compare them to each other regularly.
Another proablem is location of your Anomometer.
To get truly accurate reading the unit should be at least 30Ft above ground and 15Ft above any obsticles such as buildings and trees.
I have mounted Min on a 30Ft Mast on the Roof of the House and I actualy get better readings than the airport less than an 1/4th of a mile away. with no obstructions
