OK guys,
After getting the Davis and monitoring CWOP quality feedback, I was getting a Dewpoint 4 degree higher at night vs the day.
This morning I noticed the humidity jumped 10-12% (compared to 3 other stations in the imemdiate vicinity which all agree with each other within 2-3%) when my sprinklers went on at 5:30 and it's stays that way for awhile.
http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/F1398?days=3#DataSo, I need to site the station better. But, I have a unique situation and I am not sure where to put it, one location is good for some sensors and not others, etc., this being my major issue - so I need some advice on what to do.
Here is my location, as much as I dont want to post it, I need to so you can see what I'm up against:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/6407+W+Yucca+St,+Glendale,+AZ+85304/@33.5868989,-112.1970786,47a,35y,39.42t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x872b6a2960da6eb5:0xfc32f5f0260e23e9!8m2!3d33.5872966!4d-112.1969952The sensor is sitting in the backyard right next to the porch there on the right in the gravel walkway to the gravel on the east on a 10 ft pole.
Obviously it needs to be moved since it's picking up the humidity from the grass watering and the pole was meant to be temporary anyways. I was considering the chimney, but that is all the way up on the 2nd story of the house, and may be too high for temperature readings, plus there is a satellite dish on it pointing south. I could locate the sensor to either side but again worried it's too high and the dish (even though it's plastic) could radiate heat. If I do it on the facia board facing south on the 2nd story, it could be too high too, or the pool humidity could interfere. The east side is a total no-no because the UV/Solar sensors will loose track of the sun when it starts to set, and the east side at ground level is always shaded. The 2nd story eve in the center of the house on the east may work, but again, high and near shingles.
So I am at a loss and need some help.
Any suggestions you guys have, please let me know.
