What type of thermometer did you compare it with, where is that thermometer located, and how do you know it is correct? Did the Fine Offset thermometer show higher or lower than the other thermometer? The radiation shield on the Fine Offset temperature sensor isn't particularly good, and it will tend to show higher temperatures if the sun shines on it.

I attach also the fwto of my radiation shield. It is hand made by me and its working very good for 2 years. I have compare it with a davis in distance about 2 km and one another fine offset in 1 km. It is fan aspirated 24/24.

Not every value is plotted: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#The_pe ... eme_values

You've also restarted Cumulus, so the graphs are drawn from the data in the logs, and again, not every value is logged. The temperature around that time is not close to the max, so presumably you had a small jump in temperature around that time - according to the station, anyway.

And a question off topic Steve. Three times a day, same time every day with a programm i reboot the pc. Is this problem for the data?
Again thanks in advance

Not for the data, but it means the graphs get redrawn from the data logs at whatever interval you have set in Cumulus, rather than being at 1-minute intervals as they are from 'live' data.
