Re: Weather Instruments at Home?

I would like a rain gauge. I leave out some cups and do an eyeball check.

It rains a grip here where we live, in case ya'll didn't know. Rain Gauge. I can look outside and tell its raining hard again...

Who needs equipment? I can just watch the weather man. They are always right you know.

You don't need a prediction device. Everyday there's a 50% chance of rain..... either it will or it won't.

My guess would be on the author of the poll...


I've got a digital indoor/outdoor deal that measures temps in and out, and also changing barometric conditions and humidity. Slighly more than basic, but really quite cool.
