Weather stations measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind. Most also have a rain gauge to measure rainfall. Whether you are looking for indoor or outdoor weather stations, the basic functions are usually very similar. Some have additional capabilities such as lightning detection/alerts, UV index monitoring, and built-in webcams – so it’s worth checking what you need before selecting your ideal monitor. The majority of weather stations can be used as wireless monitors if they’re running on batteries (and most do), but if you want them to run continuously – via mains power – some will require an internet connection for their data to upload every 15 minutes.
Each type of weather station serves its own purpose. The more you’re willing to pay, the more functions it comes with – but the range in price is still very fair. You can expect an outdoor weather station to come with temperature sensors that are hardwired into it and with additional wireless sensors that allow rainfall measurements at different locations around your garden or property. Indoor stations typically have a clock with an alarm, so they double up as a large clock radio too. Some weather stations are very basic and just measure temperature, while others have built-in smoking alarms.
Types of weather stations:
✓ Basic weather stations for home use – just give the current temperature and forecast
✓ Advanced weather monitoring systems with wireless sensors located around the garden
✓ Complete home automation systems which provide control overheating and lighting integrated into a central hub/controller so you can raise or lower your room temperature at the flick of a switch
✓ Outdoor Weather Stations: These come as either an all-in-one unit (housing everything) or as individual components to be put together – such as one indoor piece with separate wireless sensors that go out into the garden. They provide live readings from probes placed outside, so you can see temperature, humidity, and pressure. Some have a digital display where you can enter the time, date, and location, so they know to provide accurate forecasting for your area.
