After the last two days of rain, rare, heavy fog enveloped southern AZ last night. Didn't quite get to W0X0F (at least while I was awake), but very close. My SHT31 refused to get closer than 0.1F in temp/dew spread, resulting in 99% humidity for almost seven hours til 10 this morning. Not stating anything new, just wish it would pull that 100% trigger. This sensor is about two years old. Anyone getting consistent 100% out of newer ones?

With the WeatherFlow Tempest SHT-31, I hit 100% easily. With the Davis, naw. But I haven’t used a brand new sensor. The last time I’ve texted Ryan, he told me Davis hasn’t changed anything so the new ones would probably perform about the same.

Mine did but only for a short period after I installed new. Now 97% is the highest I’ve seen it since. Sensor is about a year old #-o

The SHT31-7346-070 has been bang on for me.

Now we've hit the damper end of the year, it will go to 100%. November several times, and December. Quite a few 99% days too.
