Looks better than what I’m using! :lol:

Just keep in mind…

“With 2 outdoor instruments for wind and rain measurement”

You’ll have to climb on your rooftop to mount these somewhere (antenna mast?) and route the cables down the antenna mast to get these readings… no?

Or is everything wireless?

Can those things do any kind of forecast? If not then whats the point? I don't need a machine to tell me if it is sunny or if its raining now ... I can just look out of the window!!

Sotos has a point!

Seriously though, it’s cool and informative to be able to compare outside with indoor temperatures. It sort of makes you feel a bit better when paying the bills… you were actually seeing the difference! :wink:

I’ve never had the wind and rain instruments though, so I might go get another set! I’d call it a $40 package of entertainment for seriously bored married men!

Any prediction would probably be a simple extrapolation based on changes in atmospheric pressure. As a method it could be useful sometimes, but mostly not. Compared to the huge amount of data weather analysts base their predictions on, it's pretty clear that this machine is a lightweighter.
