It's not a good location. Concrete near the station. Building very close. Not well ventilated. Overexposed.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing when you posted the photo, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure if it was yours lol

I wonder how accurate that Cultus Lake location is ... I'm at the Vedder right now and while it's hot, it's nowhere near 35.8 yet

I think it may be accurate. Wunderground has lots of 35-almost 37 across chilliwack

Its 32C here already. Low last night was 20C.

[PortKells]

Late week and Canada Day looking a little more reasonable.

Hey Abbywx what's going on with your station right now? It seems it's not reporting correctly...

Looks like the server is full, so I'm waiting for the host to clear some space.

Wunderground is full of wrong data. PWS are PWS. 10% of them are accurate. Look at the photo of Cultus Lake station. Overexposed 100%.

The location is not good, but I don't believe that could account for the entire error. I believe there is a problem with the sensor or the radiation shield, or both. Even a dirty radiation shield will cause an error. If it's a FARS station, a non-working fan will also exacerbate any error.

Significant improvements on this run! The ridge gets squashed quite a bit and heights are quite a bit lower.

Edit: That's for next weekend. This weekend is still going to be deadly obviously.

Of course! First the location, then the sensors/material. We can't be sure about the second point but it's overheated for sure.

Oh man.. all these incompetent weather station locations!

If you have a box fan, put it in a window at night.

I do, I get it in the window as soon as it's cooler outside than inside, usually around 4 - 6 pm. I've found the best is to have it blow cold air in.

30.7 outside at noon. Running the a/c unit and it's keeping it at 25ish inside. It's a great day to be inside catching up on computer work. Cat and dog are also hanging out in here.
