What weather station variables are measured and recorded?
Most other weather stations offer barometric pressure, outside humidity and dew point, daily and yearly rainfall, wind speed and direction, wind chill, and outside temperature. Some also offer inside temperature and humidity, and a few even give you extra outside temperature readings and current rain rate. Only Vantage Pro weather stations gives you all these, plus: • Additional Rainfall Information: 15-minute rainfall, hourly and monthly rainfall, and rainfall amounts for each of the last 24 storms. • Additional Wind Speed Information: 10-minute average wind speed, direction of high speed, and 10-minute dominant wind direction. • Apparent Temperature: heat index (the combined effects of temperature and humidity) and, with the addition of a solar radiation sensor, temperature-humidity-sun-wind index. • Optional Sensors for Solar and UV Radiation: something that’s becoming more important as we become increasingly aware of the dangers to health caused by excessive exposure to the sun. •
