could you use one sensor mounted to a wind vane it would face the wind get speed and the vane would give direction.
would be a lot cheaper ..and a lot less wiring.

rain or weather could be a problem as it measures temperature change to get velocity. . the current to keep the temp stable on the sensor..

"The technique is called the “hot-wire” technique, and involves heating an element to a constant temperature and then measuring the electrical power that is required to maintain the heated element at temperature as the wind changes. This measured electrical input is then directly proportional to the square of the wind speed."
