Ecowitt daytime temperature maxes out of control

Post by I know i have to »

Since a couple of months i now own the worlds best set of temperature and radiation shield combination ever existed, the ecowitt-32HP inside a Meteoshield pro. Despite that my temperature prope records daytime maxes that are around 1,5-2,5c higher than the closest airport everyday during this lame heatwave (which hasn't recorded 30c yet despite IPCC's promised tropical climate around 2040). What do you guys think is wrong with the probe? I have the perfect set up and still record extreme bad values for being the best out there, even better than the traffic weather stations along the road?

A short summary of the station
Sun angle of 54
Latitude 59
Station height: 170cm
Soil below: well watered, short green grass of 40mm height.

Aspiration of your screen is probably the answer. You may have the "world's best" radiation screen, but if the air inside the screen becomes stagnant then you will record higher temperatures.

P.S. The IPCC forecast isn't one of a consistent temperature rise. We are also a long way off 2040.

Sorry i'm not interested in comments from a brit who lives off IPCC while licking their asses 24/7, my station gets enough natural wind as it is so it must be another problem, help me instead of writing nonsense you monster

OK, great if you dislike a comment, but in general it could be a bit more polite, no need to be offensive.
I've had some of this type of comments as well and I am going to suggest a more strict policy around it.

:lol: it could be a whole lot more polite to be honest, but hey ho.

We have been here before though. If you're in the same location as you were with the Vantage Vue then I would suggest the issue may be with the location. If you go off the photograph in the linked post then it looks very enclosed - walled garden effect, perhaps?

Local climate differences are one thing that could affect the readings. I have done some experiments with a bluetooth sensor that is certified to +/-0.1˚C absolute accuracy, and especially on sunny days depending on the wind direction, slopes, trees, buildings etc, the actual temperature varies quite a lot even within a few meters.

Charming, why bother to come on here to ask for advice if you are going to be so impolite. Try some other forum!!
