Hi Eric

I just wondered how your temp screen was situated. Mine is exposed to full sun all day, and
reads a bit high on quiet sunny days (as yesterday). Is your screen exposed to full sun all
day, or does it get early/sun late sun only (or no sun at all!). I ask this as the temp in my
north facing, totally shaded area matches your 18.8 quite well (it was 19.2 at 0900Z). So I have
about a 2 degree diff depending on exposure (my AWS was 21.1 at 0900). It's not easy to get it
right! Still the AWS is representative of my garden - even if it is a bit under-exposed to a
full breeze (but it is aspirated)!
