Thanks guys.
Sounds right, the thermometer maybe a little too close to the house, and not
over grass, so might read a little high. Regarding wind the La Cross
(cabled rather than wireless) logs maximum speed at quite big intervals (8
secs I think) and can easily miss gusts. Plus its not 10m above ground-level
or clear of obstructions (i.e the house is to the SSW).
Still its excellent fun.
