For the frequent travelers, the weather will always affect your traveling schedule. It’s always a need to learn the weather of a few days ahead. While keeping yourself tuned to some public weather broadcast channels isn’t that convenient, then it’ll be much better to have your own weather station, such as one that can be hooked up to your computer’s USB port.
Here comes a wireless USB weather station that can do almost everything that you need to know about the weather, such as observing atmospheric conditions and recording historical patterns of temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation amounts.
The wireless USB weather station comes in two parts, which is a little station as the transmitter of the weather data and the other part is an LCD touch screen, which is to be hooked up to your computer’s USB port to let you monitor the weather. The LCD touch screen is in the dimensions of 23 x 14.5 x 3.5cm. Captured weather information will be transmitted wirelessly from the station to the LCD touch screen.
The entire set comes bundled with some software which allows you to store and analyze the weather history by your own. The station has almost everything that a “real” weather station has, including a built-in thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, anemometer, wind vane and a self-emptying rain gauge. You’ll need to leave the station outdoor, for example get it attached on your roof. And have the receiver – the LCD touch screen connected to your computer’s USB port to receive the weather forecast data.
