Weather Stations

Weather stations collect different meteorological data. These are physical measures that have an impact on our daily lives.

• The temperature, measured with a thermometer, says how it stands for the air temperature.
• The air humidity is determined with a hygrometer and indicates the water content of the air. Together with the temperature, this has an influence on the (room) climate.
• The air pressure, measured with a barometer, enables weather forecasts such as the probability of precipitation.

Weather stations with extended functions also have measuring devices such as:

• Anemometer as wind gauge
• Sensors for air pollution CO2-content

Depending on the model, digital weather stations offer:

• Multiple measuring locations through networked sensors
• Processing of weather data for example for weather forecasts
• Forwarding of weather data either to a base station with color display or via app to an external device such as a smartphone or tablet
• Integration of external data to increase the reliability of weather analyzes
• Meaningful display with information, for example, about the probability of precipitation, sunrise and sunset, moon phases and other events (via external data)
• Alarm function as a warning against weather events such as frost and storm
• Usually also a radio controlled clock with timer
