    Ideally I'd have an open area 2 meters off the ground for temps and a pole above the roof at 10 meters but either can't be done. 

    Would temps be affected if I put the thermometer literally next to one of those white solid  plastic fences? Would the plastic fence affect readings?

    No it wouldn’t. You’ll never get an accurate wind reading anyway. Just put the station 6 feet above a patch of grass

    Awesome thanks!

    My station is about 18 feet off the ground, or 6 feet above my balcony since I mounted it on the railing. 

    I bet my temps would be a little cooler if I had it closer to the ground. 

    That’s the worst possible height. You don’t get accurate wind or temperature measurements

  4. I never understood why conservatives never want to conserve the environment. They used to!

    Nixon created the epa and passed the clean air act. Teddy Roosevelt created the first national park. Republicans founded the environmental movements in this country. Somehow and someway it went from the EPA and Yellowstone to drill baby drill. I don’t get it. 
     

    especially for religious types, if you believe god created the earth, then we have an obligation to be good stewards. Judaism has this concept called tikum olam, which is taking care of the world. Why environmental stewardship became liberal is beyond me.
