Looks like Round 2 is now underway.

Also you can calibrate the gauge it should be in the instructions. Or the best way is to get the Stratus gauge like Abby Sr. to use for calibration and a back up but they are pricey l believe. Quinn Hughes does it again! :clap:

Ah yes most likely some rain shadowing based on your decks railing and location of your gauge, can you put it out further from the bldg. or higher up on the railing away from your house entrance as well.

Update on weather stats at Jr's place courtesy of Sardine Weather Instruments. :D

Note: I had to remove the measurement units so that Google Sheets would total the sum and average. But the units used are celsius, mm, and cm.
