My Top Recommended Weather Stations

The solar-powered ones are usually on the higher end of the price spectrum and are recommended in places with unreliable electricity.

Includes one remote temperature & humidity sensor, for monitoring an additional indoor/outdoor area Similar to the WS-2000 the WS-2902 comes with a 7-sensor array outdoor unit for measuring temperature, rainfall, wind direction, wind speed, UV index, solar irradiance, and humidity.

Don’t know whose decision it was to have it that way but it was a bad one.

Here we have provided some things for to think about when it comes to buying a weather station- Screen type and size It’s important to choose a spot that will be able to accurately record the environmental conditions.

Finally, on our list, we have the Ambient WS-2902 weather station. At first glance, you might think it is a replica of the WS-2000 from Ambient; well, while they may look similar, the WS-2902 is a toned-down version of the WS-2000.
