The acurite rad shield is the best choice to house the sensor, or one that is larger. If you use the acurite, you can put a fan under it easily, and that keeps the temps from spiking and makes the...

So did you paint your station? If you did could you share some picture?

View ArticleRe: Does any Acurite weather stations measure temp. in tenths of a dregree?
FYI, using a RTL-SDR and rtl_433, from 06045 lightning sensor you get temperature in tenths of a degree fahrenheit, and lightning strike counts. But there is a bit of software setup to make that...
