I can't beleive the humidity is still 100% outside, but it's been stuck
on it since yesterday evening. Any ideas/solutions?


It's probably packed up. If it has, I'm afraid that spares are no longer
available, as I discovered when mine suffered a similar fate.



Oh S&^t.

The temperature sensor will continue to work and, from memory, it's
relatively easy to modify the software to eliminate the humidity
readings and displays - I think.

It's on it's way out, but overnight it dropped to 95% but now back to
100% and looking the radar will stay 100% until the morning...

Well the rains arrived now at Southend-on-Sea and the hunidity is now
96%. As the song goes, 'I wasn't expecting that' :-)

Looks as though you could be OK.

I think it's on it's last legs, maybe a dry wind may sort it out for a
while, but I think it's days are numbered. Perhaps the 7 days of fog in
December has everstretched it.

Keith, I had a WM2 humidity sensor which did the same under the same
circumstances (and same time of year for that matter). The reading was
100% just occasionally coming down to 95% for a short time before back
to 100%. John Dann told me to send it to McMurdo (Davis agents) who said
they would repair it for free 'if they still had a spare part in the
shed'. Part found, repaired and back to me next day. However that was
8-10 years ago. You might just find a WM2 unit being sold on ebay but
nothing at present.
