Hi Rainer, Thanks for your feedback. I have actually read the WXForum thread several times but crucially had not picked up on the sensor hierarchy. I was pretty sure that the WS69 sensor array was being blocked (apart from rain) but wanted to make doubly sure and now you have confirmed that. Thank you, Ian
