Your own weather stations
It’s not very hard to be up-to-date with the weather–everything you need to know is always online. But wouldn’t it be better to have always-on, at-a-glance weather information, especially when your kids are off to school or you’re commuting to work? La Crosse Technology, Bushnell, Thw Weather Channel and Oregon Scientific have a number of options for you. From 7-day forecasts to temperature, pressure and humidity sensors, from UV and heat indexes to sunset and sunrise times, these wireless gadgets with LCD displays can also function as alarm clocks. Where it matters, Spectrum has a Thunderbolt Storm Detector to alert you of coming stormy weather.
