The ground, like tarmac or concrete is a solid state which absorb sunlight due to the dark colour (e.g. black). Therefore there is probability that the Stevenson Screen can absorb these heat which can then alter the readings of the instruments.
Hope that helps

What is the function of long legs 1.25m above surface in Stevenson screen?
Long legs 1.25m above the surface of a Stevenson screen are meant to elevate the screen to ensure proper air circulation around the temperature and humidity sensors inside. This helps to prevent any interference from the heat radiating off the ground, providing more accurate measurements of temperature and humidity.
