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.
