WHATS YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2020

It's rained all day today - well if you can call it rain. It's drizzled enough to soak me but not the garden. The wind has finally dropped too. 10C/50F

 

Almost summer today, hazy sun all day, no wind and I recorded 23.9C
Warmest day here so far this year, even if the temperature is not official.

 

Was that temperature in the sun or shade @pete?

 

Lovely day , very hot in my Dad's garden this afternoon .... not that I'm complaining.

 

They said it would hit 23C down here in the South @Sheal, and I think it did in my Dad's garden. I couldn't do much out there apart from some watering as I forgot my sunblock.

 

I only take the temperature in one place, the sensor is on a north facing concrete shed wall, only ever gets sun on it after 7pm in mid summer for an hour or so.

The high was around 3.30pm.

By never moving the sensor I always know I'm working from the same point if you see what I mean.

As I say, not likely to be considered an official type reading but the closest I can get without too much hassle.

 

The temperature was quite high then Pete considering the sensor is facing north.

 

I'd never put a thermometer in the sun, because there is no point.

What you are looking for is the air temperature.

In the sun you are just recording radiated heat from the sun, which will always be higher and misleading.

 

It got up to 64f here. Very sunny but also quite breezy.

 

Currently about 9°C rising to 19°C with sun and a soft breeze.

Sunrise was 6.23
