Keeping track of the Weather

by admin on September 18, 2008

Well I was planning to buy a minimum/maximum thermometer, to keep track of the temperature in my greenhouse this Winter. They aren’t so easy to find any more. I finally found a circular style one and was about to buy it, when I decided to get something way cooler as well as more useful; my very own Wireless Forecast Station. It has a lot of useful and interesting functions. I call it Wilson the Weatherman, because there is a picture of a guy on it, dressed appropriately for the weather. Let’s hope he’s right! All this for under $40. Not much more than I was going to pay for a boring thermometer that wouldn’t even tell me what time the minimum temperature was.

Features

  • Wireless sensor
  • Indoor/Outdoor temperature
  • Indoor humidity
  • Atomic clock, with alarm and date
  • Weatherman forecast icon, based on barometric pressure
  • Minimum/Maximum Temperature for indoors and outdoors, with time and date stamp
  • Minimum/Maximum humidity
  • Optional extra wireless sensors. Can have up to three.
  • Celcius or Farenheit

The list goes on. Now I can start reporting to you how my greenhouse is performing. It won’t be too interesting yet, as our overnight lows are still in the 50s. I just got the one wireless sensor. I will put the station in the greenhouse and the sensor outside. Hopefully the greenhouse won’t get below 14°F, because that is as low as it goes. The outside sensor goes down to -21.8°F. We never get anywhere near that cold.
