Funny weather instrument foibles

Spot the moment when I removed the Inner Drive Technology WHQ outdoor weather station from its repurposed birdhouse:

It lives in a birdhouse to protect it from the sun, rain, and (ironically) birds. However, when we have a long stretch of really humid air as we had for most of the week, the birdhouse gets a bit stuffy. I thought that might be the case when the closest other Netatmo weather station showed a much more reasonable temperature-dewpoint spread all day.

So, no, it's not still raining. In fact it's quite pleasant outside, as Cassie and I will soon experience. But my poor Netatmo sensor was feeling a bit clammy.
