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)

This weather station is great for the price but a few important points need to be considered. The accuracy of the readings is very much dependant on sensor location and in fact the temperature sensor is not adequately shielded from sunshine so will give false readings when it is sunny. Like several others, I downloaded the Cumulus software and the support forum on their web site is very useful for tips on using and improving the station. The manual lacks any useful information. In summary - as it is out of the box this is great for people with a passing interest in the weather but with a few modifications and careful planning it has the potential to be the basis of a fully-fledged weather station.

It assembled easily and worked first time. It is a pity the leads for the sensors are so long and cannot easily be shortened. Generally I am very pleased with it. It also downloads the data to the computer without problems.

I love weather and this I just hook up to my computer to view an advanced look into my weather outside! Amazing is the word, a brillant gadget

Customer Questions about USB Wireless Weather Forecaster

Q: I've just bought this station which is actually a Fine Offset WH1081. I have Apple Macs and find it works with WeatherSnoop which you can find in the App Store for £39.00. You need to use WS-1080/WS-2080 for the source on the Weather Agent page.

Janet Farrell - 10/01/2012

Maplin says: Thanks for your feedback!

Q: Hi, Does this product come with Mac software? Cheers, Rob

Rob - 23/12/2009

Maplin says: This is not included

Q: Is this unit's mast made of metal or plastic?

Castie - 19/12/2009

Maplin says: The mast is metal.

Q: This may be helpful to you! Can the base unit can be run using a mains DC transformer. NO! But the base unit is powered from the USB computer link and then the batteries are used as backup supply for the base unit!

Iain McMiIllan - 08/09/2009

Maplin says: Many thanks for the information!

Q: Is the screen backlit?

Martin Shepherd - 12/02/2008
