This weather station tracks indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, barometric pressure trends, and lightning strikes. A wireless outdoor sensor sends readings to the indoor display. The display also shows the time and date in digital numbers and dims automatically.
Self-calibrating technology combines data from the display's built-in barometer with the outdoor sensor's measurements to give a personalized forecast 12 hours from current conditions. The sensor detects cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground, and intracloud lightning within 25 miles. It triggers audible and visual alerts on the display, which also shows the estimated distance to the nearest strike and running strike totals for the day, week, and month.
The display shows a heat index warning when the heat index is above 90 °F (32 °C). It shows a freeze alert when temperatures fall to 32 °F (0 °C). You can cycle through indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity highs and lows, which reset every day at midnight.
