Your weather station under the verender will not give you a proper reading  |
Well, to clarify ... the rain and wind are above the patio, the temp and other just under the roof of the patio. It was on the roof of the house, but that was significantly affected by the roof (reading hot in summer). So I moved it to the next best location I had
I should rig up a stronger bracket to hold the temp stuff out from under the patio I guess, but just haven't got to it
At the moment extra shading (pot saucers with holes in them) is rigged up over the temp sensor to shade it more, and as the bracket isn't strong enough to hold it I have that hung partially from the roof of the patio to take weight off the flimsy plastic bracket
It is litterally right on the edge of the patio.
