My windmill for W155 shows too low/too high wind speed compared to official metrological measurements, why?

• A windmill shows the wind speed in the exact local area where it is placed, with the source of errors there must be for this location. • The metrological standard height for wind instruments is 32, 81 feet above the ground. The ideal horizontal distance a windmill should be placed in the matter of trees, houses etc. is 10 times the height of the tree or house. If a house is 22,97 feet tall, the windmill should then be placed 229, 66 feet from the house to avoid influence from the local air current around the house. • In practice this can be hard to fulfill. Therefore you must be aware that big differences in the wind speed between official metrological measurements and your own private weather station can occur.
