Mine is mounted in an IP?? (65 or something)
anyway
a weatherproof MAPLIN type box on an outside wall. No air holes etc. Cable
entry
sealed with silicon.
It is pretty consistant with Newcastle airport
a
few miles away except with it catches direct sunlight.

Paul
with regards location for the outside
temperature sensor it depends on a
couple of things the main one being
what
you are trying t measure. A lot of
people who are serious about
measuring
outside temperature build little
pagodas which allow air t circulate
but
do not allow direct wind (chill
factor) or direct sun. Not sure of the
terminology but I believe this is the
temperature they quote on met
office
reports.
