the main problem with temperature sensors not in a stevenson screen is direct heating by the sun...or reflected solar radiation
that is what happens with this station
so yes the reading is likely to be too high
but there would have been a fohn effect in the whakatane area
the rotorua site has shiftedm now the url is:

i need to get the owner of the station to set the starting rain values/totals
whakatane gets a surprisingly good rain total, but thats from heavy falls from the NW to the NE /E direction
W and SW through to SE and is a relatively dry wind
sunshine hours are second highest in the country (2200 or so)
