My personal weather station. Wether you want to stay informed about local weather conditions or just want to introduce your children to science, having your own personal weather station can offer many great benefits. Weather stations provide real-time data that are often more accurate than the weather reports and allow you to monitor conditions in your own backyard and garden. Read on to learn more about why a weather station might be right for you!

The WS-2902 features a dramatic redesign of the LCD display for the very popular WS-2902B. Ambient Weather’s newest Personal Wifi Weather Station allows you to monitor your home and backyard weather conditions with the brilliant, easy-to-read LCD color display. Monitor indoor and outdoor conditions, including wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV, solar radiation, barometric pressure, indoor/outdoor temperature (F and C), indoor/outdoor humidity, dew point, heat index, wind chill, and more.
More Accurate Information
Local weather forecasts can give you general predictions, but with a weather station in your backyard, you get up-to-date readings for your exact area. This is especially important if you live in an area where there are microclimates that can make a big difference in the type of weather experienced. The data collected by your personal weather station will be much more accurate than the reports given by the National Weather Service and other sources, which are always for a general area. More accurate data also helps with your garden and urban farming.
Introducing Your Kids To Science
A fun way to introduce your kids to science and how the weather affects the world around them is with a personal weather station. They’ll learn about wind direction, air pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall amounts and more – all from their own backyard! It’s also great for teaching them how different types of clouds indicate what kind of conditions they should expect.
Community Spirit
Many hobbyists who use these stations upload their locally collected data to web sites and services which aggregate and analyze such information. This is great for tracking trends over time in specific areas or even sharing information with nearby neighbors so they know what kind of conditions they should expect through the day or week ahead. This type of sharing is also helpful when it comes to alerting people to any severe storms or other adverse conditions that may affect them so they can take appropriate precautions.
For those who love keeping up with local news or introducing their family members (especially younger ones) to science while still getting accurate real-time data on local conditions, investing in a personal home weather station is definitely worth considering! Not only will it give you access to reliable information but it also helps build community spirit as hobbyists work together by uploading their data for everyone’s benefit. So why not invest in one today? You won’t regret it!
