Product Features


Take the guess work out of the very unpredictable British weather. The USB Wireless Weather Forecaster is feature-packed with an affordable price and will give live weather updates there and then. Be in no doubt the USB Wireless Weather Forecaster is the elite for its category.

The large LCD touchscreen makes the operation of the unit incredibly simple and allows comprehensive adjustment and correction for your location. The USB Wireless Weather Forecaster requires no connecting cable between the base station and the remote weather transmitting sensors, with a typical sensor range of 60m (200ft). It can also display historic data and within the menu you can select metric or imperial values. Included is a software programme that allows you to link your LCD panel to your PC via the included USB lead. From here you can not only programme the LCD panel, but you can also download stored data and then display it in data base format for keeping your own weather history. If you are in an area or situation where weather plays a critical part, then you can switch on an alarm that can be triggered by any of the data sensors.

This weather station offers amazing value and comes with everything you need to set it up in the garden. The system comprises large 23 x 14.5 x 3.5 cm LCD control panel, wind speed sensor, wind direction sensor, rain gauge, outside temperature sensor and transmitter, stub mast, sensor mounting arms, sensor cable harness, USB lead and PC software (not MAC compatible)

Customer Reviews on this Product
Tim (04/08/2009)

After much reading up on this subject, I bought one of the WH1081 weather stations. It cost a few pounds more than what I wanted to pay, but I am greatly pleased that I did. The system does more than any other weather station(as far as I can tell). You would have to spend about another 150 pounds to get all of the features. It is simple to set up, it took me less than 15 minuits. The software to download the data to your computer is easy to set up and the results are quite impressive. I have gone on further (using a free sofware download) to post the results to the internet in my own website showing the data for all to view. This was a little more tricky to do, but it is amazing that this weater station can still do it in the first place. If I had to pick any faults with it, it would be that that back light only stays on for about 10 seconds with no adjustment and that it will not stand upright on a bookcase with out been leant against somthing. If that is all I can find at fault, then that means that I am very happy to have made the purchase. Overall rating for the money 10/10 Overall rating for the design 9.9/10 Overall raqting for the functions 9.5/10
