You're standing in a lift, someone says "nice day today!", don't you wish you had a little something more to offer than a smile and nod? Wouldn't you like to be able to turn around and say "actually based on the wind speed, atmospheric pressure and humidity – I'd say we're actually in for something between 4 to 10 mm of rain". With the Touch Screen Weather Station with PC Connect, it's possible! (Of course, it's also possible no one will ever be game to make a polite comment on the weather in your presence again.)

Anyone with a rain gauge or the weather channel will know that weather watching, far from being boring, can become quite addictive. If you know someone with an idle fascination, the Touch Screen Weather Station with PC Connect will escalate it into a full-blown obsession.

The wireless outside sensors are easy to install, sending data back to your touch screen LCD base panel, which can also upload data to your PC via USB to analyse readings.

The sensors will give you readings on indoor and outdoor temperature, wind speed, wind chill, wind direction, dew point, humidity, rainfall and barometric pressure – plus there are programmable alarm modes to alert you if a storm is coming or it's too windy for kites!

An excellent educational tool for kids and a great present for dads, gardeners and golfers – in fact just about anyone who would like a more accurate weather prediction than grandma's rheumatism! Bring out the meteorologist in you – with the Touch Screen Weather Station with PC Connect.

The Touch Screen Weather Station with PC Connect features an extensive range of features to keep you fully updated on current and future atmospheric activity. The outdoor sensors are simple to install and will wirelessly transmit data to the base station which interprets and displays the data on the touch screen panel. You can also connect the base station to your PC through USB and upload all recorded weather data for more in-depth analysis.

The sensors will read indoor/outdoor temperature, wind speed, wind chill, wind direction, dew point, humidity, rainfall and barometric pressure. The weather tendency indicator will inform you of changing conditions based on fluctuating barometric pressure and there are programmable alarm modes for all of the recordable weather conditions so you will know if a storm is coming or if winds are too gusty for your Sunday picnic. All minimum and maximum weather values are recorded with the time and date of recording and are stored on the base station for your reference.
