Weather Station Louvered Screen

Meteorologists use wooden weather station shelters to house thermometers, barometers, and humidity sensors. These outdoor structures feature louvered sides that shield instruments from direct sunlight and rain while permitting surrounding air to circulate continuously.

Facts About Meteorological Shelters

Weather station screens are traditionally painted white to reflect radiant heat from solar rays, ensuring temperature readings remain accurate. Placing these shelters at a standard height above ground level allows scientists worldwide to collect comparable atmospheric data.

Real Colors of Weather Station Shelters

  • Wooden shelter body: white
  • Slatted louvers: white or light off-white
  • Roof surface: white or weathered silver metal
  • Support legs: white painted wood or gray metal
Questions and answers

Weather Station Questions and Answers

Why do weather stations have slatted sides instead of solid walls?
Angled slats allow wind to pass freely across internal sensors while blocking direct sunlight, precipitation, and thermal radiation. This airflow prevents heat from building up inside the enclosure.
Where are Stevenson screens typically installed?
They are placed in open outdoor areas away from tall buildings, trees, and pavement. Positioning them over grass ensures that ground radiation does not distort the temperature measurements.
