Improved heat shield - Half plastic bottle of mineral water, painted white and perforated all round with small holes and slided on the top of original device.
Clear improvement when sunlight hits the station.
Strong tick aluminium mast attached to garden fence. It shakes a litle bit when wind is very strong but not problems so far.

It works OK, not 100% accurate - min/plus a couple of degrees compaired to readins of local weather stations in Eltham, Orpington and Welling.

Does that bottle painted white actually work?
My W-8681 unit always registers a much higher reading when the sun is on it, i got a solar transmitter so i would have to make a tube to fit over it...

IMPORTANT - Paint also (2 sprays) inside/outside of the original heath shield with white paint and also the inside of the water bottle. Good luck. After completion check yournew weather readings with a local station. GOOD LUCK.
