Wireless Weather Station with Rain Gauge & Wind Direction


I found this recently - looks like a pretty top-of-the line weather station to me! - Beats my plastic rain guage nailed on the fence.

For AUD$200 you can have an array of sensors that Monitors & Measures: Inside and Outside Temperature, Air Pressure, Rainfall, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction & Wind Chill Factor.

That's a lot of measurements!

I particularly like the bit with the rocket on top and spinning balls underneath - yeah that looks way cool and functional... like watch out for my weather station man or it will fire that silver rocket at yah - yeah its a self defence mechanism.. don't piss it off!

The forecast is displayed on the system's screen in an icon style and the barometric pressure trend is displayed as a bar graph so you can see at a glance how fast the pressure is rising or falling.

This is an excellent weather station that fills the needs of the enthusiast as well as those with a more professional interest such as farmers, schools, or anyone with a serious interest in the weather - or anyone (like me) who just wants another LCD display showing them up to the minute information on things they didn't really care about it the first place. AUD$199 [JUMP]
