Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other.

Solution: Each temp/humidity sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 2 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions. It is possible for two temp/humidity sensors to be as much as 4 degrees different. The difference can be exaggerated further because the temp/humidity sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the indoor weather station’s case. In addition, the casing can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). In addition, the much greater range of the outdoor temp/humidity sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
