Auriol Weather Station

The Auriol weather station or temperature station as it is also known, is a digital thermometer for measuring temperature indoors and out. It has a really nice looking interface, which is easy to use. It comes with many features which I will outline here.

On the actual display itself it has several features.

• Outdoor temp display in Celsius or Fahrenheit
• A maximum and minimum temperature values for outside.
• A temperature trend display
• Reception indicator/bar
• Battery power bar for outdoor sensor.

• Indoor temp display in Celsius or Fahrenheit
• A maximum and minimum temperature values for inside.
• Temperature trend display
• Battery power display for temperature station 

• Shows the time in 12 hour or 24 hour mode, hours and minutes displayed and a snooze feature.
• It has two different alarms, a time signal indicator, seconds display and summer time reading.
• It also shows the date with the day, month and day of the week.

The weather station is an updated version of your regular thermometer, as we progress in life technology gets better and better. Our first weather stations were the old thermometers, that used the mercury in the glass tube, but with the advancement of science, we come to gadgets like this Auriol weather station.

They are great to use, really cheap to buy in this day when gadgets are getting smaller and smaller.

Because its a digital product, they tend to be a lot more accurate than the old types of thermometers. In the old days if you wanted to read the temperature, it could take a while for the mercury to rise up and down the tube, but with a digital device the readings are instant.

This device can be really useful in the winter, for example if the temperature starts to drop you can check your station, and plan ahead. You could put your car in the garage, if you notice the temperature dropping, or you could put some salt down on your drive in anticipation of the coming ice. If you are elderly then you will know that it will most probably be very icy in the morning, so you should take care.

Have you watched the weather on your television or read the forecast on your computer, but it never really gives you exactly what's happening outside your door. This could be because the actual weather station could be miles away from where you actually live, so it can never give an exact reading of your temperature right outside your house.

With this little gadget you can get instant readings inside and outside your house, and if it gets to warm inside, you can easily adjust your heating and conserve energy. The beauty of this station also is the fact that it is a wireless device, so you can take it out to your garden, and get a true reading away from your house, because the range is 30 metres

If you are interested in the weather and devices like the weather station you can start upgrading and buying many different products. There is a whole world of different products to monitor the weather, for the beginner up to the experienced person. You can start of with thermometers, but maybe you would like to monitor rain fall, this is where you can look at rain gauges.

For the more advanced you can get complete weather stations which you can add all the information on to your computer, these are called weather station software, and they monitor everything from rainfall, to temperature, to humidity.

On a final note, the Auriol weather station is a good little product that might get you interested to look at other products in the weather range, if that is what you intend to do.

Indoor Outdoor Thermometer Wireless

Indoor Outdoor thermometer Wireless is a device for measuring the temperature, both in and out doors. I am sure like a lot of people over the years, you were used to the old thermometer with the mercury in the tube, but with the onset of technology, you can now buy digital thermometers.

Because its a digital product, it will be a lot more accurate than your old wooden thermometer, that is not very good at showing exactly what the temperature is straight away. The old ones tended to take a while to realise the temperature, where now these digital products tell you instantly.




If like me, you are always watching the weather on Television and they tell you how hot or cold it is, have you often wondered how accurate that might be, because you could be miles away from one of there weather stations. You now do not have to rely on your local weather station to give you true readings.

I do not know if you are like me and would rather see the temperature in Fahrenheit, instead of Celsius but you have the option to choose which you would like to see. Either way you can take the thermometer outside and in and get instant temperatures.

Another positive thing about this thermometer is the fact that it can give you warnings about the cold weather that is about to hit you. It has an inbuilt function that alerts you when ice starts setting in around your home.
This is a really useful tool to let you plan ahead for the day to come, perhaps if you are going on a long journey in your car.

Getting an early alert of the weather turning cold, gives you the time to go out and buy some rock salt for your drive, or maybe even get a sled for the children. If you are elderly then this could actually save your life, if you get the warning then you do not have to go outside the next day, and fall over on the ice and break something.

Because of the technology you can take the Indoor Outdoor Thermometer Wireless outside to a range of at least 30 meters, or 100 feet in old terms. this is ideal for someone with a big garden, or perhaps you maybe think you will not get a true reading, right outside your backdoor, so you can take your thermometer down the garden, and still get an accurate reading.


Another plus about this device is the wireless part of the thermometer, gone are the days where you have so many cables running all over your floor, a trip hazard ready to send you flying. These days lots of cables is not a pretty site, more and more people tend to hide there cables in the walls now, so any extra cables would just be unsightly.

Finally because its a gadget so its lightweight and small, you can put it on your desktop, or you can hang it on a wall. These thermometers use batteries so it saves on electricity. You could even take it on holiday and get the exact temperature, while you are in your hotel room or on your balcony.

Weighing Precipitation Gauge

A Weighing Precipitation Gauge like other types of rain gauges is an instrument for measuring rainfall or liquid precipitation as it is also known, over a set amount of time.

It consists of a big storage bin, which will be weighed before and after it has rained to record the mass. There are basically two types of these gauges, one which has a pen on a rotating drum to measure the mass, or the other type which has an attached vibrating wire, which is connected to a data logger.

A well known type of Weighing precipitation gauge is the Pluvio, which uses specialty weighted technology to measure the precipitation, be it rain, snow or hail, and it takes a measurement every six seconds. With the technology within this device it is able to record accurately the precipitation, taking in to account wind, temperature and evaporation.

The capacity of these gauges can vary but they can be anything from 750mm up to 1500mm, and they can monitor the weather continuously. This could be anywhere from a home environment, are most probably a weather station.

Main benefits of the Weighing Precipitation Gauge are that they do not need much maintenance, once or twice a year. Very robust so that it can with stand all temperatures. Low power consumption and can also be run with solar power.

Although the Precipitation gauge is generally more expensive than the standard rain gauges, it has advantages in that it can measure big rainstorms, and can also measure snow and hail.

Another great feature of this device for scientists is the fact that it can measure chemicals in the atmosphere, to study the effect of green house gases in our environment.

There is many different types of rain gauges, the weighing precipitation gauge just one of many, it is up to you the reader to get out there, go and make one, or buy one and have fun, doing experiments and watching that data come in. 

Technology is ever increasing to the point you can get complete weather station software for your home, and you can monitor all the data through your computer
