Marconi Wireless Weather Station Marconi Wireless Weather Station

Introducing the newest wireless weather station from Germany! This full featured weather station is unique in that each outdoor sensor is solar powered (with battery backup), and can be mounted independently from each other. The unit measures indoor and outdoor temperature(F/C) and humidity, and will read these measurements from up to nine different sensors (one indoor temperature/humidity and one outdoor temperature/humidity sensor are included). The self-emptying rain collector will calculate the amount of precipitation in the last hour, last 24 hours, and total amount. The current barometric pressure is displayed numerically in inches of mercury (inHg) or millimeters (mmHg), while a bar graph illustrates the pressure trend for the last 24 hours. Interested in knowing the upcoming forecast? A pressure trend arrow, along with a forecast icon will let you know what conditions to expect within the next 12-24 hours. The wind sensor will provide you with the average wind speed (in mph over a three minute period), while the direction is illustrated on a 16 point compass rose. The speed and direction are also illustrated numerically. Minimum and maximum readings are recorded for all of the sensors, along with time and date of occurrence. The indoor display operates on 4 "AA" batteries, and is free standing or can be mounted on a wall. It measures 81/2" x 1 1/4" x 6".
