A quick glance at its large icons and numbers shows you the current outdoor conditions as well as what’s in the forecast. It conveniently can be hung on your wall or stand freely on a table or desk. It’ll look nice in your home, too, thanks to its cherry side panels. This model provides forecasts from 12 to 20 hours in advance. Joining the list is the La Crosse Technology, which features an atomic clock that gets its reliable time and date transmissions from WWVB radio in Fort Collins, Colorado. You can set alarms, view graphs, and see the latest forecasts.

From the same manufacturer is the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2, which features a solar-powered sensor and a compact indoor console that provides you with a host of weather conditions at your fingertips. It’s updated every 2-1/2 seconds, and you’ll also see weather forecast icons, phases of the moon, and times of sunrise and sunset. The Davis Instruments Vantage Vue remains in a prominent spot on the list, as it’s an easy-to-use selection that has a working wireless range of 100 yards, and can give you all sorts of data that includes wind speed and direction, humidity, barometric pressure, dew point, and rainfall.

We also say goodbye to the Oregon Scientific Oregon Scientific BAR208HGX, which reportedly encounters problems with a blinking screen and also a relatively short lifespan. It replaces the La Crosse Technology WS-8157U, which is unavailable at this time. It can double as an alarm clock as well as provide rain alerts if you want them. You can configure the precipitation graph to show data in days, weeks, or months. Also coming on board is the La Crosse Technology 724-1710, which features a prominent screen that makes it easy to read from across the room, and it keeps you apprised of the time, day of the week, and indoor and outdoor temperatures. It’s a popular selection that got off to a successful start after a 2016 Indiegogo campaign. It’s compatible with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Siri, and more. This intelligent choice can work along with your smart home hub to do things like turn on fans if the indoor temperature is high, adjust your sprinkler schedule based on rainfall, and alert your family when storms are on the way. The WeatherFlow Tempest comes on board today as an option with a lot to offer, including readings on barometric pressure, UV index, temperature, wind speed and direction, and dew point.
