This is the last blog of this series of Experimenting with Waterproof Connector - Weather station.
I decided to build a weather station because exposing this device to different weathers would put the connectors and enclosure on stress.

For this test I closed again the enclosure with the Lattepanda inside with a humidity sensor and a battery.
I used a profesional splasher machine, aka water flosser.
