One thing that has always bothered me about electronic weather station 
design:


   How do you normalizee temperarture readings (perhaps I am using the 
wrong term here).?

   If you place your temperature sensor diredtly in the sunlight, it 
will likely register a higher reading thanthe actual ambient ait 
temperature, due to direct heating by the IR of the sun.  if you enclose 
it, you have the heating of the enclosure to correct for.


  Enclose it in something highlky reflective? (e.g., a piece of white 
ABS pipe, with plenty of airflow thhrough it, or a polished aluiminum 
enclosure with plenty of airflow?)   Simply place it under an "awning" 
laid out to insure that no sunlight impinges directly upon the sensor?   
How far fromthe inner surface of this awning would thesensor need to be, 
not to pick up erroneous readings due to radiation of heat fromthe awning?

*heh*  sometimes my mind asks too many quesitons, eh?
