Unlike regular thermometers that can get incorrect readings because of the sun’s heat, shading, and airflow, aspirated thermometers isolate the temperature sensor from precipitation and the sun, while providing constant air circulation.

A foot of PVC pipe, fans, and the above mentioned parts and you’ll have accurate temperature readings in no time.
