Three things to consider before buying a weather station
Think about how advanced your weather station needs to be. Simple variants only measure temperature and humidity, while others also measure things such as as dew point and UV index.
Some of them can warn you of frost, a heatwave, and ice, as well as have extra features, such as a built-in calendar and alarm clock. Some models also log the data so you can get a weather history.
All weather stations have one main unit and one or more sensors that collect data. Multi-sensor weather stations often provide more accurate predictions, as they collect data from multiple locations simultaneously.
It is important that you position the different sensors correctly. For example, a sensor that measures precipitation cannot be placed under a roof, which can be difficult if you live in an apartment.
Measuring the wind if you live on a high storey can also be a challenge, as the wind speed is higher up there, and the weather station can therefore produce inaccurate numbers. Therefore, be prepared that it can be difficult to obtain accurate data.
At this page you can read more about what to think of when placing your weather station for the best results.
In addition to choosing a weather station that suits your needs, you should also consider how to use it. Here are three good things to consider:
• A weather station with an app provides you with weather updates even when you are not at home. Some models also allow you to share your measurements with others.
• A solar-powered weather station is kind to the environment and your electricity bill. However, it’s a good idea for it to also be able to be powered by batteries, so that cloudy days don't put an end to your measurements.
• A wireless weather station has the advantage that you can place it wherever you want. With a cord, you are dependent on the proximity of a power outlet but, on the other hand, you get a guaranteed stable signal that is not affected by stone walls and other obstacles.
