1. Accurate and dependable weather wherever, whenever.

By far, the best feature of a home weather station is access to real-time, hyperlocal weather. Smart home weather stations take this a step further to deliver this information straight to your mobile phone or computer for access anywhere, at any time.

2. Alerts and Push Notifications

Weather station console alerts are helpful in an assortment of applications like notifying you of sudden or significant weather changes – even warning of oncoming extreme weather events that could jeopardise your property and safety. Some smart station apps go one step further and push notifications to your phone so that you can leap into action if necessary.

3. Forecasting

Planning a BBQ this weekend? Maybe outdoor Christmas plans? Don’t let unpredictable weather stand spoil it. Most weather stations provide up-to-date weather forecasts on the console, and many offer you this information over the internet.

4. Easily log, graph, track, share and store data.

Today, manually recording weather data or using a cable or USB to transfer information is uncommon. Instead, the convenience of digital weather data capture, wireless weather data transmission, online storage, access, and the power of weather apps that let you manipulate, analyse and share weather information is the reason why smart weather stations have become so popular.

5. Third-Party Connections

Most internet-enabled weather stations let you share weather data with others. Third-party sharing networks like Weather Underground only enhance the experience.
