    The temperature shield is barely up to the job and would benefit from an additional home-made enclosure to avoid inaccurate spikes.On some stations, wind seems to have a tendency to read wild spikes too but since they are like 150mph are easily spotted and discarded!Generally good value though unless you live in a very wild, icy and windy place like here where it would do well to last a year out.
