When we bitched about it running warm years ago...MADIS confirmed the drift. Then we noticed it looked better...MADIS confirmed. Then you noticed it was getting out of line again...MADIS confirmed. June '18 to Feb '20...ran 2F warm. Feb '20 to Feb '21...close to expected Feb '21 to present...running 1-2F warm There's a lot more drift in the high temps since the end of 2019 too. Makes me wonder if there's some radiation issues. Using the CON black mulch?

Good chance for a 106F in there for SEA.

Not quite 90° at 990ft

PDX 113° and a 3rd straight day of an all-time record high. Has that ever happened? lol SEA 104°

PDX up to 111°/112° again. Salem, OR (SLE) 117°

Running 2° warm all of the time is draining.

The problem is the sensor is enclosed…it has a lot of thermal mass and slower response time. A FARS is superior to a passive shield as well. So even though it’s the same sensor the other factors make a huge difference. If you want the most accurate temps possible…you pretty much need to go with a FARS. Maybe a station on the beach or on a summit sees negligible difference.

You can do wireless with a Davis. Do you actually have a spot to site it properly or would it be on a balcony against the side of the building? There’s not a lot of point spending mid range money on a station if the rain and wind is getting blocked by a building and you have radiated heat affecting temp reading from a roof or vent. If you’re around the $150-200 mark you’re talking Ambient. $350-400 and it’s a Davis Vue. $600 and it’s a Davis VP2 with FARS. $1k and you’re getting into the high end Davis with solar/uv/soil sensors.

Brief shower just went through…only enough to make it more humid. Looks like round 2 for the lakes. Hopefully we can bet something measurable through here.

What's your budget?

100F to 106F at PDX in 10 mins.

IZG up to 98/99.

We pray. A little cell just popped west of here.

CON, DAW, PWM, IZG, and SFM up to 36C (96/97). SW ME and SE NH roasting today.

Baltazar and Pebbles?

NSFW?

BOS really sticks out there...a good 2-3F too warm?

Get me an inch of rain and you can have your nice weekend.

Already 100F at Portland-Troutdale...12F ahead of the 88F at this time yesterday. They hit 112F yesterday as well.

CON 94/69 Slightly better mixing up here vs SNE

Haven’t seen a gypsy here in a few years

How are those not preventable?
