Personally, I've found that the quoted accuracy of +/- 1°C is about
right. Close enough for enthusiastic amateurs like myself (though I
don't use one for the monthly records I post here).


Do bear in mind that the Met Office accurracy is only 0.5C, how ever
last time I looked on the Met O site it didn't say if that was:

a) +/- 0.5C
b) + 0.5C, - 0.0C
c) + 0.0C, - 0.5C
d) +/- 0.25C

The last slightly contradicts the resolution of 0.1C as the
specification for the accuracy requires higher resolution than
required resolution...
