Topic: Weather Station with Good Radiation Shield

[Matello]

I have a W8686(HP2550 clone). It was my first budget PWS and have been really pleased with it.
The only disapppinting thing has been the radiation shield.
Can anyone recommend a good PWS I can register with ecowitt website that has a good quality radiation shield?

Thanks very much.

Thank you.

You could consider adding an Ecowitt WN32 outdoor T/H sensor and locate it in its own radiation shield in a more shaded spot. On the HP2550 display, the WN32 can override the outdoor T/H readiing from the array sensor.

Thanks, I had previously bought one but it turned out to be poor quality. Have had another look and found a much better one  .

I just took the outdoor Ecowitt sensor and stuck it into a well-vented $10 birdhouse that I painted gloss white and put in the (mostly) shade.  It might get an hour or two sun max during a typical day, but does not heat up at all.

That's certainly a cheaper solution
