24-Hour Air Temperature and Relative Humidity for NearSys Station, 25 August 2019

The temperature and relative humidity sensor are shielded from direct exposure from rain, to an extent. At around 3:00 PM, the sensor and its housing got doused with water from a lawn sprinkler. Hence, the brief change in temperature and relative humidity.

I placed the LED Photometer in the wrong location this week. So the photometer got sprayed with the lawn sprinkler during one of its watering sessions. The sky didn't actually go dark at 2:00 PM.

24-Hour Photometer for NearSys Station, 18 August 2019

Odd spikes again in the ultraviolet. I wonder if this is seasonal? The detectors are LEDs and do have some directionality in their sensitivity. The 10:30 AM drop in green intensity is unusual also.

A little late, but better than never. It's warm and dry. So the air temperature cools down nicely after sunset. In fact, most nights we don't need air conditioning after dark.
