Indoor display units tend to run off either batteries of mains power, or have the capacity for both. While we can’t really predict the weather in the long run, there is something we can do that can let us know what is likely to happen short term, and that is investing in one of the best weather stations. The display is powered using either mains power or 2 x AA batteries. To save battery power, the screen will turn off after 15 seconds unless it is pressed again. Weather Data can be permanently stored in a micro SD card (not included). The system has a low power maintain mode such that user will never experience data loss.

Overall, this is an excellent home weather station if you want a clear, easy-to-understand display. However, there are a couple of downsides. Intermittent sunny spells on the forecast are indicated by flashing clouds across the screen, which can be distracting if you have it plugged in and are working in an office or have it in your bedroom.

Apart from those two faults, this is a great little weather station at a price point where you expect a few niggles. The features of reading the pressure and showing the weather changes are also nice extras. Pros
