Case for mini weather station
-
It is actually called a radiation shield. Too bad you don't have a 3D printer. I did a design for one that I have posted on thingiverse.

@dbemowsk And pretty sure there will be something out in the market or a dumpster already for an entirely different function waiting to be re-purposed to just such a task, Air Freshener perhaps ? Three or four plastic louvre vents, some hot glue, and bits of wood?

Waauw, this looks really great!

This could be for you: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/plastic-outer-shield-for-thermo-hygro-sensor-spare-part-for-weather-station-Transmitter-thermo-hygro-sensor/32793243933.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.f3dWg7
Found this one to but the shipping costs to the netherlands are extreem high :(

This might offer some ideas:

I made my own (similar to the one in the Ali Express link below) for just a few bucks and a little time buy using white plastic cereal bowls, some 1/8 threaded rods, cap nuts and wing nuts. I also built the battery enclosure for it using the a pair of the same bowls.
I made the battery enclosure detachable (via wing nuts) from the rest of the station - so I can take the battery and recharge it - until I have time to make a MPPT type solar charger.
Finally I used a piece of house screen (fiberglass - not metal) for the center portion to add protection from insects. (Wasp have been an issue in my area of the past couple of summers).
I bought the bowls from a local 'dollar general' store for ~ $1 a pair.
[I used 14 in total - but that is overkill - and over sized. :-)]Threaded rod (4 - but 3 would work just as well) from the local Ace for ~ $4.
[3 will probably be easier to deal with and adjust]~ 3' piece of rigid PVC tube cut into 1.5" pieces.
You can adjust the size (height) of your enclosure by simply adding (or removing) more bowls.
BTW - I used a Teensy 3.2 controller (which works great with MySensors) on a 'Teensy to Arduino adapter shield', and an Arduino 'Weather Sheild' and instrument package to start with - but I am building a more customized weather sensor board to provide reduced power consumption (much needed!) and more precision.
I'll be happy to send more pics or provide info if anyone is interested.
