Tropopause_Fold Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm sure they'd be into that. It would really raise your property value too. I need to get my wx station soon. Been spending so much money on house stuff it's been crazy. make sure you put it someplace portable like kevin...so you can move it next to the freezer during the winter and onto the stove top during the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 you want to give us all the $500 reimbursement? probably because that would be a horrible waste of time and energy. LOL Recalibration? My manual says Here at Davis we have seen less than a 2% drift per year on the readings from our sensors. No calibration needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Dews should start tumbling. Well we've been seeing those posts for 3 hours now..and they've risen. Almost 2:00 and mine is 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I like how EEN, FIT and out around Orange Mass were left out of the heat advisory, yet those locales were among the hotter obs from last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 you want to give us all the $500 reimbursement? probably because that would be a horrible waste of time and energy. LOL Hey I'm just saying those types of sensors drift - and badly depending on the environment they are in - and it's usually in the high direction as Tip noted. For $500 you're almost to the cost of the ASOS sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wouldn't say this is pedestrian... since a few locations will challenge their record for warmest June high on record. But yeah a 3 day heat wave isn't overly exciting.

MainePhotog Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 They're cheap. That's their technology. They measure humidity and back into dew point. I'm guessing people with home stations don't do any kind of regular calibration/maintenance. You hit the nail on the head. The Davis weather stations are known to drift, especially in regards to DP, and sometimes temp. Calibration and QC verification through the MADIS QC checks are a must every year. I have owned various Davis weather instruments over the 17 years and have mine calibrated every year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sea breeze kicking in now along the south coast beaches. Temp down to 87 off a high of 90 2 miles south down the road from me. Still 92 and climbing 3 miles to my north. Currently 89/76 at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they valleys are normally a couple degrees warmer during the hottest of the hot this should be no different. There's no question it's an impressive heat for this early in the seasons (with dews around 70 today) so I'm not sure what you're arguing. Any time you come close to challenging an all-time monthly record that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
