A questions for the experts...would it not be better to construct Stevenson
screens from polishes aluminium or any reflective metal rather than a white
painted surface ,which in my experience absorb some heat especially when
they get dirty in urban situations...?.

The new screen that the Met Office have put into our our enclosure is
white plastic; meanwhile our own double sized screen needs painting -
a job that I loathe, and have been putting off for a while.

I like the plastic personally!

Steve, as you've got a plastic and a wood screen, is there any
difference in the readings?
