Forecast temperature and humidity levels with Oregon Scientific’s cable-free weather system. Plan for outdoor conditions or monitor the climate indoors. This versatile gadget mounts on a wall or stands alone on a tabletop. Its display features easy-to-read, digital numbers, and indicates humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, time of day, date, plus daily minimum and maximum temperatures. Straightforward graphics also depict sunny, cloudy, partly-cloudy and rainy conditions. A pressure-trend indicator notes when pressure rises, falls, or stays steady. Temperature readings are available in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. An included cable-free model-THR138 sensor measures outdoor temperatures from -5 to +50 degrees Celsius or –23 to +122 degrees Fahrenheit. This weather station has a transmission range of 90 feet--between monitor and sensor--and forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours.

This handy tool also has an ExactSet Clock. Radio-controlled by the United States Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado, it resets daily to the hour, minute, and second for continued accuracy. It also automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. Both date and day of week can be displayed in English, French, or Spanish. A programmable alarm sounds with increasing volume for 2 minutes, rousing sleepers gradually. This weather system measures 7-1/4 by 5-1/4 by 2-3/4 inches, and weighs 1 pound as shipped. --Jessica Reuling

Product description of this weather station is incorrect and I have to pay to return it. The Bar888 clearly describes it as measuring humidity ("This versatile gadget mounts on a wall or stands alone on a tabletop. Its display features easy-to-read, digital numbers, and indicates humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, time of day, date, plus daily minimum and maximum temperatures"),and it does not. Unhappy with product and return procedure when you are in error.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worked Well (for a few months), November 7, 2005

In the beginning, it worked well. Then the remote sensor started leaking and died. I bought a replacement. A month later the auto time-set stopped working. A couple weeks later the unit no longer received signal from the remote unit, even if it was 3 inches away! Neither fresh batteries nor a reset of the unit solved the problems. A different unit still receives signals from the remote.

You can surely find a better model.

This keeps you on time and lets you monitor the weather and temps inside and out. later on I plan to get at least one more monitor for outside(can have up to three).
