Best rated weather stations for home

Best rated weather stations for home , The manufacturer and designer of meteorological stations La Crosse has been operating since 1983 when he began his career with Allan McCormick as founder, in the United States of America.

Although its beginnings were very humble and its founder was dedicated during the first years to wander around different fairs and states finally the company settled down and grew to become an international company where its products, especially the Weather stations, they can be found everywhere. As they indicate in their page they maintain a philosophy of “small city” so they give great importance to the attention to the customer trying to offer the maximum quality in their products.

La Crosse Technology Weather station models.

Certainly La Crosse Technology has a wide variety of weather stations, but we are going to focus on these 6 models that I think are the most interesting, here we will see a quick view of them for those people who do not have time to read all the Information:

1.La Crosse Technology WS9257IT-TRA-B meteorological station.

La Crosse Technology WS9257IT stands out primarily for the design of its aluminium frame and its minimalist display in which you can see all the information at a glance.

2. Station Weather La Crosse Technology WS6860WHI-SIL. The best 3 in 1.

La Crosse Technology WS6860WHI-SIL has 2 things I like: its color display and its 3-in-1 sensor that collects the temperature, humidity and wind speed information, also has the advantage that it can be much easier to install if we live in A house of several heights thanks also to its size.

It is also a meteorological station intended for use at home and with an informative objective of the basic weather conditions of the outside, but in this case including in the wind velocity sensor so it completes the information better with About the WS9257IT.

It can also be an ideal weather station for recreational boats and for navigation in general because wind speed information can be very important in certain cases, and it also has a wind warning system. Any type of need in which the measurement of wind speed can be important is a good weather station for use.

La Crosse Technology WS272 is not exactly a weather station because it does not have the barometer capabilities so it cannot give us weather forecasts, but I wanted to include it by its ability to report on the quality of the air something that certainly I’ve only seen it at a weather station and it’s the famous Netatmo.

The information about air quality is becoming more critical and being able to measure the level of CO2 at the local level can be very useful for planning our activities away from home. Unfortunately every time the big cities are more and more polluted and are sometimes affected by major pollution problems.

In addition, its size is quite small with other types of weather stations.

Among the sensors that we can enjoy we have: thermometer, hygrometer, Pluviometer and Anemometer.

Its compact-size display offers all the information at a glance. I find it an ideal station to start in the weather and perfect if we have limitations in the installation and can take advantage of the possibility of installing it horizontally.

Another aspect to note is its compact 5-in-1 outdoor sensor which brings together all the sensors. The set includes another temperature sensor that we can install another part of our home. One of the aspects that I do not like about this station with respect to others is that you can not see trends charts of barometric pressure or other types of graphics of other sensors, although according to whom this can give the same.
