So, we moved from Illinois to Arizona about a year ago, and, I have had several real weather station while in Chicago-land; always easy for me to find a decent place to mount them, and usually got accurate readings, especially from the Davis Stuff. Have held off buying anything in Arizona aside from a couple small console types,but just sprung for the Atlas yesterday, and its coming tomorrow.
My concern is that the mind numbing heat/sun that we get out here will make it tough for any weather station to provide accurate readings, especially when mounted out in the open, so I was wondering if any of you folks live in a desert environment, and how these stations report their numbers, while sitting out in the hot 120-140 degree sun during the afternoons in the summer..Even today, Sept 26th, its 103 here, so, I guess I will find out tomorrow when my Atlas shows up..
thanks for your input!
