Noticed that the “Current Weather Conditions” for DMS indicated it was about ~38C° (or about 100° American) around 4:00p.m. today. Was it really?
Roof we have a problem, it wasn t that hot!
No it was not. It was closer to 30 or 33. The wind has been much calmer this past week (by a factor of 3 or 4) and it seems likely that this can account for the artificially high temperature reading.
We would still do well to improve the enclosure I think. The existing one has been painted white to help reduce solar heating, but it was still not expected to work well during the summer months, if I recall correctly. I’d guess we need to make it even more reflective, and perhaps increase the ventilation too. Or perhaps an umbrella of sorts is the way to go.
Well when you have an instrument on a roof, you are more likely to get radiant heat built up. Controls wise ins the past we would always mount a OAT sensor on the north face of the building as high as we could get it in the shade.
