Ambient Weather WH31-SRS Solar Radiation Shield w/Bracket for WH31E, WH31P and WH31L Sensors

This radiation shield is solid, well made, and took just a few minutes to install. As you can see in my first photo, I mounted it on my weather station with no issues. The second photo shows the sensor reporting back to my Ambient Weather console. The shield does exactly what it’s supposed to do by helping reduce direct solar heating of the sensor, making the temperature readings more reliable. If you already have an Ambient Weather station, I’d definitely recommend adding one. P.S. If you’re wondering about the cloud in my first photo… I can neither confirm nor deny that it was part of a classified weather modification test. 🤫😂

Very well built, easy openable to change batteries in sensors. It will either mount to a wall or it will either mount on a pole. It looks like it should function as described.

This is a part of my new WS-5000 weather station meant for protecting the lightning gauge. I am 100% happy with my WS-5000 and all its components. It is an excellent purchase, and I Highly recommend

Works OK for the Ambient lightning sensor. Could be very simple to install or not, it depends on your situation. The housing needs a wider array of fastening options, only fits a very small pole. You can face mount it to the side of your home, on a fence post or a separate structure. Just keep it away from an automatic standby generator if you have one. To mount the housing to main weather station pole, I made a backer plate from an old polyethylene cutting board and bought two 1 1/4 stainless U-bolts (see photos). I had to move the lighting sensor away from my Generac automatic standby generator - it was causing false positive lightning strikes - see the photo of the weather station monitor with 110 lighting strikes. It was a crystal clear day when that showed up - it was my generator exercising that caused the false count. Overall, this housing works well, it’s easy to access the detector inside and it’s weather proof (the sensor is NOT weather proof!) . The issue can be mounting, hence the 4 star rating. I came up with a solution but I can fix most anything. You might not have the same skill set - good luck. Hope that helps!

This Sheild protects Ambient Weather Station Sensors Outdoors. My Lightening Sensor fit perfectly inside, and this Shield attaches easily on the same pole that the Ambient Weather Station Sensor Cluster is attached to. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
