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?

MPM 90°

As far as I know they're all shagbark. That bottom one has struggled a bit.

Have you hit 90F yet?

BED is ASOS

ASH is an AWOS so their dew may be a bit off at times..especially when the real dew is near 70+. The fields may be overgrown as well.

This must be our year because I’ve never seen so many.

No idea really. I don’t know a lot about hickory. Do the trees look stressed? You’ve had plenty of rain though.
