Weather Gadgets

Sick and tired of waiting for commercials to end to get your local weather forecast?  Maybe you don’t like your local weatherman anymore?

Well here is an interesting alternative that puts you in total control of your local weather forecast.

This is a complete weather station from Oregon scientific and includes wireless sensors that operate on solar power.

It provides a 12 to 24 hour weather forecast and has long range sensors that operate up to 300 feet from the main unit.

You can monitor wind speed and direction, rainfall (with a self emptying rain gauge), indoor and outdoor temperature, indoor and outdoor humidity and barometric pressure with the touch screen LCD.

                                                      Most of the time I do not really pay too much attention to the weather, especially during the summer months.  But when winter comes along I tend to be more alert about it simply because here in the Northeastern United States we have bad winter storms and ice storms that can be very random.

This portable weather radio and freeze alarm seems to solve some of my anxieties and maybe yours too?

I suppose it is especially useful for those who spend a lot of extra time outdoors (work for Fedex or UPS ?) but on the other hand maybe your Mother or Father likes to keep tabs on the weather if they are on the go a lot or especially concerned about the weather.

Here are a few stats on this neat portable weather gadget.
