Weather watching has rapidly become an informative (yet
fun) hobby for thousands of people across the country
as they monitor the weather on a constant basis!
For others, maintaining a close watch on current and pending
weather conditions is an important safety concern, especially
for those areas of the country affected by sudden storms,
hurricanes, snow, tornadoes or other dangerous weather
events.
Weather stations may include such features as an anemometer
to measure wind speed and direction; a thermometer to
determine outside temperature; a self-emptying rain bucket
to measure rainfall; a barometer to measure atmospheric
pressure; and other options such as solar-powered sensors,
fan-aspirated radiation shield, digital atomic clocks
and calendars, and a host of other features. Certain models
of weather stations even utilize computer software that
can format and maintain information and generate reports.
The hobby of weather watching continues to explode as
hundreds of eager weather enthusiasts join with other
weather station owners to track the weather!
