Note: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather
station or tripod. If lightning strikes your station or strikes somewhere
nearby, the station's internal electronics may suffer anywhere between little
to extensive damage. The station itself has been designed with
considerable surge protection, but to safeguard nearby equipment and
structures, we recommend following local recommendations on properly
grounding your installation.
