I've got a few around the house, mostly just wireless indoor/outdoor temp/ humidity and "forecast". Didn't pay much for any of them.. like $15 or so. They seem to be pretty accurate. You can't go by what the local temp forecast is in your area because of micro climates.. us living in the north end of town near the lake the temp can be a few degree's cooler or hotter than other parts and particularly our tiny airport where I think they take the "official" temps.. it's 3 miles out in the country surrounded by farms. |

Newer and older LaCrosse in/out thermo, newer one has humidity and dewpoint. Both have 'atomic' clocks, though my 1982 $8 travel alarm is dead-on-balls accurate enough (it's an industry term) (what movie that from?).
Only so much to be known about weather short of waiting. NOAA is bristling with MS and PhDs but the more educated they are the more equivocal their synopses. "Well it might but it might not. But it might." |

......are a Computemp 5 indoor/outdoor thermometer with wired sensors and red LED display and a RainWise wireless rain gauge.
Both are very accurate and trouble-free. The rain gauge requires 4 AA batteries (2 for the outdoor unit and 2 for the indoor unit) which I change every year before the rainy season starts. One can easily spend hundreds (or over one thousand) dollars on home weather stations from Davis and the like. I'm happy just to know temperatures and rainfall amounts!
