High afternoon temp recordings

[ycato]

I couldnt work out why i was having HIGH temp recordings in the late afternoon,as high as 31degs C Checked everything out again and again.It wasnt till this afternoon i discovered the problem....While sitting on the deck having a few . At about 5.00 sun was hitting the top of the of the patio heater (bright alloy top) and was reflecting straight onto the sensor LOL problem fixed
Cheers Guys

Always useful to sit back and have a beer once in a while. Glad the problem is fixed

Heh, heh! Beer and Science do mix!
I bought a very short focus, four foot diameter mirror from a engineer once. His wife had placed it for a bird bath in the garden and wondered why the birds never went near!

:ROFL: LOL

I guess the concentrated sun's rays sizzled them on arrival! Actually, it would decrease the size of an object seen not increase it but neverthe less, seeing another moving object as you drink must be disconcerting! HIC!

It was lucky i was on the deck and noticed it reflecting on to the senser otherwise id still be trying to work it out.

Yes, placement of the temp and humidity sensor is very important and need a good airflow over them too - but definitely no sunshine - reflected or otherwise! Good spotting - obviously the beer honed your thinking skills!

Beer is good. Science never grew until beer was discovered!

Galileo was probably having honey meade though... and Leonardo Da Vinci probably stayed happy with wine... I myself, like Kerry, will have a cool beer at the end of the hot day! And then my thinking becomes a lot clearer... LOL
