sensors for the weather

sensors are hand to have,
what it is temperature, rainfall, wind speed, or humidity ?

they can help you figure out when to plant things, and how much to water,
so set up some
thermometers are likely the most tricky to set up,
if they are put out where the sun can hit them, they can read way to high,
so I put up a shield from the sun,
and it did not work entirely well, so I put up another past the first one

and that ended up working,

most weather stations have a shield built in to the sensor,

but they are usually entirely insufficient, so either put them in the shade, or make more sun shields for them

rain gauges are very handy,
a straight walled cup left out in your garden can get you close enough
but make sure it is level,
this one is no longer level

it drifted over the last 15 years and needs fixed if I am to trust it again.

to many weather stations are installed wrong and don't give good data because of that,
so pay attention to how you install them,

good luck with the weather
