Hi all the rain gauge is now working but still need help.

I purchased this weather station a month ago http://www.weathersh...er-station.html

and its working fine but the temp in the rockets too high so if I purchased this http://www.weathersh...ion-shield.html

would it fix the problem and would it work with this weather station? :)

I'm sure it would improve things, it seems very expensive though.

I saw quite a neat design home-made one using white plastic ventilation panels.

This sort of thing:

4 of those or similar, and something white over the top?
