A great gift. Act Now! Radio-controlled Weather ForecasterAmazon.comA great gadget for planning a boating or camping trip or just monitoring the weather, this battery-powered wireless weather station displays all the pertinent information. The LCD is divided into five areas of information. At the very top of the screen the time is displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds, and either 12- or 24-hour modes with the date directly below it. A built-in antenna system receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock, to provide precise timekeeping. Once you install the battery, you can set the clock to one of 13 time zones, including all U.S. times zones and Greenwich Mean Time, and the device will automatically set to the accurate time. The clock even automatically adjusts for daylight savings time, so you never need to remember to move it backward or forward by an hour. Two independent alarm settings with snooze are included for convenience. Forecast icons (three in total) in the middle of the LCD display weather predictions based on changing air pressure and predictions are about 75% accurate for any 12- to 20-hour time period. The remainder of the display is devoted to showing indoor relative humidity and temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius for an indoor location and an outdoor area using the included remote sensor. For more accurate outdoor readings, the base unit can receive information from up to three different sensors, which can each be placed up to 80 feet away. The weather station records the minimum and maximum temperatures and humidity readings within a 24-hour period and recalls them at your prompting. In addition, it has an indoor comfort level indicator, which uses happy or sad face icons to inform you if the temperature is at a comfortable level. The wireless weather station requires two AA batteries for the receiver and another two for the remote and a low-battery indicator on the receiver lets you know when they need replacing. This unit is covered by a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde |
