Weather Station, Professional Solar Weather Forecast Station with Wireless 433 Mhz, Agriculture, Garden, Balcony, Home, Temperature and Humidity Meter, wind speed

Product Information

Aim to position the wind gauge at least 3 m higher than the majority of the obstructions in your garden. The more clearance you can get, the better! Weather Station Add-Ons Schoolchildren. If your kid loves natural sciences, a weather station might be a useful gift idea for your future Noble laureate. Not all of these stations have a traditional vane and anemometer set up, but it’s relatively common. A wind vane does exactly what it seems, indicating the direction the wind is blowing. Anemometers, which generally look like three spinning half-spheres, measure the speed of the wind in either MPH, KPH, or knots. Knots are surprisingly archaic but still used.

The unique design of the instrument is such that it is durable and functional. Starting with, the outdoor unit comes with two protective mechanisms for maximum longevity: the first is that the temperature and humidity sensors are protected from UV rays by the 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield which also ensures that the reading of the temperature and humidity sensors aren’t affected for accurate readings. Secondly, the rain gauge is protected by a rain gauge bird spike to deter birds from settling on your weather station and defecating on the weather system; over time, this can cause the system to produce inaccurate readings, and it can cause you to perform more maintenance than usual. All of these are available to view in the App, or online via Ecowitt.net and in the 3rd party services that support this sensor type. This low-cost twin set of weather stations is perfect for people who like their gadgets to be unobtrusive as they only measure 9.3 x 8.3 x 6.2 cm, and weigh in at just 280 Grams per piece. The fact that there are two of them also gives you a chance to see the differences in humidity, temperature, etc. in various parts of the house. The 7-in-1 outdoor sensor suite includes sensors for wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, precipitation, light intensity and ultra-voilet light (UV)

Although this one is not a sort of professional weather station, it is a nice thing for smart home enthusiasts. All you need to do is say "Alexa, ask Netatmo what’s the temperature outside" or ask other questions and you will get the information you need. Indeed, this is a good choice for those who consider a connected model. As an added benefit, the outside sensor is solar powered, so there’s no need to worry about changing batteries.

It comes with one outdoor sensor, but can be used with up to three. The sensor has a transmission range of up to 60 m. The instructions that came with the model are far from great, but thankfully, setting up was not too difficult and there are tutorials available online, though you shouldn’t really need them anyway. It also has a forecast functionality, predicting sun, cloud, overcast weather, light rain, heavy rain or snow. Plus, for gardeners who worry about their plants, there’s a frost alarm function. Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, particularly if you want accurate ambient weather readings. Direct sunlight will negatively affect the accuracy of any temperature readings.Be prepared for the station to show “cloudy” weather for the first few days. The real weather will be shown in 2 days from the set-up. Why does this happen? You can also see the sunrise and sunset times, which can come in handy for gardeners wanting to get an early start, and at the very top of the screen are two images with directional arrows between them to show you the current, and expected, overall weather condition. Also, resetting the external maximum and minimum records can be a bit fiddly and more complicated than it needs to be.

Ideally, you want a device that includes all of the key sensors – barometer/thermometer, rain gauge, anemometer, weather vane, and possibly the ability to measure atmospheric static (a precursor to lightning). 1. Sainlogic Professional Observer – Nice solar station with three readout methodsWireless weather stations offer the easiest set up. Using your Wi-Fi network, the sensors outside are able to connect to the display unit inside. Uploading to the Internet One small shortcoming is that the LCD screen has a narrow viewing angle. You need to be viewing at the right height to clearly see the display. Also, after initial set up it can take up to a week for the forecast to become available – there’s nothing to indicate this in the manual so it can be tempting to believe the device is faulty in the meantime. Indoor display units tend to run off either batteries of mains power, or have the capacity for both.
