Ambient Weather WH31-SRS Solar Radiation Shield with Bracket for WH31E/WH31P/WH31L

Overview

Elevate your weather measurements with the Ambient Weather WH31-SRS Solar Radiation Shield, now with a bracket for secure, flexible mounting. This shield is designed to sit above WH31E, WH31P, or WH31L sensors, providing shade and protection from direct sun and rain while preserving essential airflow. The result is a practical balance between protection and ventilation, helping your sensor readings reflect real ambient conditions rather than surface heat or moisture buildup.

What’s Included

• 1 solar radiation shield
• Mounting hardware (screws & anchors, U-bolt) for quick setup

The included hardware enables straightforward installation on a 1.25 inch diameter Ambient Weather mounting system or on flat vertical or horizontal surfaces, giving you flexible placement options for a tidy, weather-ready installation.

Design, Benefits, and Use Cases

• Promotes airflow around the sensor to support shaded, ventilated readings
• Protects sensor components from sun exposure and precipitation
• Compact, durable form that blends with outdoor environments
• Compatible with WH31E, WH31P, and WH31L sensors for cohesive setups

Physical specifications show a shield diameter of 6.125 inches with a height of 2.75 inches, while the bracket measures 7 x 2.125 x 1.75 inches. This footprint offers steady, low-profile support without crowding surrounding hardware.

In real-world use, you might place the shield on a roofline, under an eave, or at a pole mounting point to reduce heat soak while keeping air moving around the sensor. The combination of shade and ventilation helps you maintain consistent data collection across varying weather conditions, making this shield a practical addition for backyard stations, educational setups, or small community weather projects.

Installation and Fit

The shield is designed to mount with standard 1.25 inch diameter hardware and supports mounting to flat vertical or horizontal surfaces, simplifying retrofit onto existing Ambient Weather rigs or new installations. The included bracket keeps the shield securely positioned while still allowing airflow around the sensor.
