stevenson screen in back garden

[sriram]

Does anyone have a Stevenson Screen for their weather sensor ?

My question - is it worthwhile using it in say a back garden in a built up area - and will it make much difference to say temp measurement in a shaded spot on a north facing fence ?

Is it the location of where you that is the determining factor of accurate temperature measurement - regardless of whether you have a stevenson screen or not

Thanks Sriram

Heat radiates from all around especially in summer, it will definitely be better fully screened but ideally you want a more open site than most gardens can offer. A full screen seems quite extravagant for most users, You might consider something like a DIY Davis Fars system using a smaller enclosure and solar powered fan.
