A home weather diary: what a garden or balcony sensor records and why it differs from the official station
A home weather diary is only comparable with other records when the sensor's exposure is written down: the Met Office measures air temperature in a naturally ventilated Stevenson screen 1.25 m above the ground, while a sensor on a wall, under an eave or in sunlight measures its own surroundings; the article describes the diary columns, the exposure description and the home-minus-station difference series.
