The weather has an impact on everyone’s day. For some, they just need to know whether to take the umbrella to work while for others the weather dictates what work they can do and whether plant, animal or human life is in danger.
If you need more information than the nightly weather forecast provides, invest in a handheld instrument as your own mini weather station. In an instant, the device can tell you the wind speed and chill, altitude, humidity, air temperature and barometric pressure.
