Home weather station suggestions

[gsganzer]

My home weather station has quit working and I'm looking to replace it. My original was just a cheap-ish Accurite. Without going all out with a professional model, does anyone have a recommendation for a decent one?

I don't mind spending some money (up to maybe $300) if it will last a while.

Here's one you already paid for and it works pretty good:

My Accurite "Atlas" has been trouble-free for the past 2 years. It replaced a cheaper Accurite that had been up for at least 15 years with no problems.

I have a Vantage pro 2, and like it. My neighbor has a Tempest, and loves it. If I were in the market now, I would buy a Tempest, just because the rain gauge never needs cleaning. The accessories from Davis are pricey, though the product quality has been excellent and technical support top notch.

All the best,

Peter

And just in case you aren't aware of the detailed 48 hour hourly forecasts; scroll down and click on the hourly forecasts.
E.g. Hourly Graphical Forecast for 43.31N 90.19W

All the best,

I use the Accurite Iris with wifi connection so I can see the data on their app and feed the data to weather underground. I have 6 remote sensors in the family room, barn, garage, porch, chicken coop and basement plus lightning sensor. I really like the app and being able to monitor everything remotely.

+1 on Weatherunderground, which is the reason that I bought a weather station in the first place.

All the best,

I bought a Kalevol weather station. It has had some issues, but the manufacturer has been very helpful. They replaced the first unit based on my 2 star review on Amazon. I would not hesitate to buy another.

+1 on the Davis Instruments equipment. I have the wireless Vantage Pro 2 which has been in service for almost 20 years. Cost a grand though.
