Re: Weather Instrument Discussions
Awesome can't wait to hear how the shield holds up for temperature is. I think Abby Sr. Is skeptical it might read too high. Just in time for the Arctic fart.

I'm sure it will have issues, but I liked the all in one unit, price and versatility.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 7:07 pm Awesome can't wait to hear how the shield holds up for temperature is. I think Abby Sr. Is skeptical it might read too high. Just in time for the Arctic fart.

Re: Weather Instrument Discussions
Reading about them online, they don’t measure rain well and the products battery dies here because there isn’t enough solar energy to charge it with all the clouds.

Re: Weather Instrument Discussions
I’m looking at the hp2553. I want to have separate wind and temp as locations need to be different. Locations exposed to wind seem to always get too much reflective radiation from the sun leading to higher values than accurate. Hope they could go on sale though.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 3:49 pm I paid just over $300.00 for mine, all seperate units which is the best way to go. Unit HP3501

Re: Weather Instrument Discussions
I’ll have a manual gauge for the rain, so not too worried about that. The battery was a concern, but it has been charging just fine the last few days with cloud cover. We’ll see.

Re: Weather Instrument Discussions
Yah, what gives link to your station, reviews pros and cons. Radiation shield does it work good for temp. Bonorman has disappeared for the season.
