In the UK, the recommended height is 10 metres. Advice varies on whether you should apply a correction factor for any lower height. Cumulus allows you to apply such a factor to either just wind speed, or wind speed and gust speed, by using the Calibration screen within the configuation menu. In the Cumulus Help it recommends that you also adjust wind chill | In the UK, the recommended height is 10 metres. Advice varies on whether you should apply a correction factor for any lower height.
