Recommended Weather Stations based on Price
A common question we receive is "which weather station should I buy?" Quality for the most part is based on your budget. The more you spend, the better quality, accuracy and range.

We define a weather station as measuring the following parameters: Windspeed, Wind Direction, Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, and Rainfall.

We have detailed guides here: Weather Station Comparison Guide

and shopping tools here: [|Weather Station Reviews]

Here is a very simple table based on our recommendations vs price range. Please note that prices are subject to change.
