Nice rainbow

1.22" here so far.

1.54" total for Sunday., just about equally split between morning and night.

Hi temps here from mon thru Friday....91, 92, 94, 95, 91.

0.56" with first cell... some small hail...gusted to 40mph.

Certainly the most humid day of the week...with temps near 90° at many stations,  dew points are in the mid to upper 70's.

I have a Davis Vantage Vue that reads high too when in full sun. Non aspirated, and well over 10 years old, so that may be part of the issue, but has read high for as long as I remember. 

But regarding aspiration, not a single temp/rh sensor (66 in total) operated by the NJWxNet is aspirated, but they don't have that problem. Aspiration is good, but not essential; perhaps has more to do with sensor design or just a biased sensor. 

What type of equipment do they use at those njwxnet stations if you're familiar?  I assume it's just observers with their own pws.

Sometimes I match surrounding stations but yes it is in direct sun.

Problem with alot of the pws with the sun shining on the shield....aspirated is the way to go but they are expensive.

Of course I get the bad ambient. I need to figure out how to calibrate it

Is it always reading high or just when the sun is shining on it?

This why the meso sites can’t be trusted 

Yeah don't know when it became acceptable to use rooftop stations as official but several in the local mesonets are. Of course we have the problem of improperly sited pws also.

94/72 split here for Wednesday.... currently 76°.

94° here, ties with two days in July for hottest of season.

92/67 currently. 

92° here today after low of 72°.

Finally made it here 91/71 currently.

Just missed again at 89°.

August finished here with a -0.7° temp departure...As for the summer...with June's negative departure and July's positive, the 3 month period finished very close to normal for my station. Rainfall totaled 15.41" which is a bit above normal.

Yeah, I was in Piscataway at the time.  Lots of flooding all over and my basement took on water 

It had been very wet in the couple weeks leading up to Irene also...add in Irene's rain...never had more water in the woods around the house before or since...had over 25" of rain at my station in a 30 day period.

6.45" rain for the month, after 6.60" in July.
