Howdy!

I’m interested in purchasing two ‘weather stations’, one for tripping in BWCA (portability required & no external probe needed) & one for using over winter (does not need to be portable & would like to have an external + internal probe to obtain temps inside & outside of tent without having to go outside). Main readings I’m interested in are temp & wind speed. RH would be nice to have as well.

PS
Is dew-point calculated based on other readings or can this be measured? Off to the search engine I go!

Thanks!

I liked the simplicity and natural materials of this weather station near Quartzsite Arizona.

I dunno, looks heavy to me, and I wonder about the battery life, just sayin'
