Hello,

hmm, i will do following.
1) i will buy a hand-held-windmeter to check windspeed at the current 
position of my weather-sensors ... maybe you are right and the position of 
the windsensor is not perfect.
2) I will move my weatherstation-outsensors to the top of the roof. 
(currently its not at the top, 3m lower, but no slipstream from west, north 
and south)

You should know that I see many kilometers to the mountains.
There is nothing higher in sight (from the west) than my house. So the wind 
loves my roof :D

i am just wondering why all other stations i checked have the same 
"problem".

lets see :)

thx for you help ....
