Ambient Weather solar radiation shield WH31-SRS — white with bracket, fits WH31E/WH31P/WH31L, vented for accurate readings

The Ambient Weather WH31-SRS is a weather sensor radiation shield with mounting bracket that protects WH31 series sensors while allowing accurate airflow for reliable outdoor readings.

Designed specifically for Ambient Weather WH31E, WH31P, and WH31L probes, this white multi-plate solar radiation shield balances protection from direct sun and precipitation with free circulation of ambient air. It includes the bracket and hardware needed for quick installation on poles or flat surfaces, and its dimensions fit common Ambient Weather mounting systems (1.25 in diameter). Built to reduce solar heating and weather noise, the WH31-SRS helps sensors collect measurements closer to true ambient conditions without altering their placement or compatibility.

How does this shield improve temperature and humidity readings?

The WH31-SRS blocks direct sunlight and precipitation that can warm or wet the sensor, while the slatted design encourages cross-ventilation so ambient air reaches the instrument. By reducing radiative heating and splash effects, the shield helps sensors produce readings that better reflect the surrounding environment rather than localized solar influence.

• Multi-plate construction reduces direct solar load on the sensor
• Vented slats allow natural airflow around the probe
• Protects against rain and light debris that could bias readings
• Compatible with WH31E/WH31P/WH31L for accurate integration

What mounting options and hardware are included?

The product ships with a mounting bracket plus screws, anchors and a U-bolt so you can install it on a vertical or horizontal flat surface or attach it to a pole. The bracket works with common Ambient Weather hardware and supports 1.25-inch diameter mounts, streamlining setup on existing weather station rigs.

• Includes bracket, screws, anchors and U-bolt for versatile mounting
• Fits poles and flat vertical/horizontal surfaces for flexible placement
• Designed to accept 1.25 in diameter Ambient Weather mounts
• Compact bracket footprint minimizes obstruction and sway

What are the shield's size and compatibility specifications?

The WH31-SRS shield measures roughly 6.125 inches long by 2.75 inches diameter, while the bracket measures 7 x 2.125 x 1.75 inches. It is explicitly compatible with Ambient Weather WH31E, WH31P, and WH31L sensors, so you don’t need adapters when pairing with those probe models.

• Shield dimensions: 6.125 x 2.75 in (length x diameter)
• Bracket dimensions: 7 x 2.125 x 1.75 in for compact mounting
• Direct compatibility with WH31E, WH31P, WH31L sensor probes
• Low-profile design preserves sensor position and exposure

How durable and low-maintenance is the WH31-SRS?

Constructed for outdoor exposure, the shield resists weathering while allowing easy inspection or cleaning of the sensor. Its simple assembly and removable fastenings mean you can access the probe quickly for calibration checks or routine maintenance without disassembling a complex housing.

• Weather-resistant materials for long outdoor life
• Easy to open or remove for sensor access and cleaning
• Simple hardware reduces time spent on installation or service
• Design minimizes areas where dirt and water collect

Who is this for? The Ambient Weather WH31-SRS is ideal for hobbyist and small-scale professional weather station users who already own WH31-series probes or plan to upgrade accuracy without changing sensor placement. If you need a compact, purpose-built shield that mounts to common Ambient Weather fittings, improves reading reliability in direct sun or light precipitation, and keeps maintenance simple, this shield is engineered for that use.
