...REMARKS...
I am taking weather readings using a Kestrel 3500, and there have
been having issues with my actual dewpoint and RH readings matching
up calculated numbers. This problem usually clears up if I wait until
almost noon to take the weather readings. I take the time to let the
device equilibrate to ambient conditions. Im not sure if this is a
result of our unique microclimate but I dont think it is a device
malfunction.
