Not worth the money
I bought this weather station about a week ago and was immediately disappointed with it. It looks very impressive on the photo, but plugging it into power immediately reveals that the display is hard to read. The text is a bright blue on a dark blue background, with a limited viewing angle. Placing it on a stand, slightly above eye level, made it impossible to see the contents of the display. Moving it down on the table, about a metre away from me, did improve readability but the dark blue/lighter blue colors makes it difficult to read at even that distance.The thermometers in both the base station and the external station, seem to be measuring 2 degrees centigrade too warm, compared to other thermomoters placed next to them. The base station also measures 0.5 degrees different from the external station, when placed next to each other.The weather station features information such as barometric pressure, UV levels, humidity, perspiration chance, wind direction, wind speed and a 3 day weather forecast. The station itself features only thermometer and barometric pressure measurements, the other information is retrieved through the wireless connector, that must be connected to your computer, where a program must be always running, to update these readings from an internet site.The internet readings are specified by setting a city to retrieve the information for. There is however no feature to find a town near you, so you must manually search through a list of hundreds of cities, trying to find a city close to you, by searching for it's name. Trying to find one of the nearest 10 larger cities, close to me, yielded no result, forcing me to enter out capital to get a reading within 50km of me.Furthermore, to get the current weather (Based on barometric readings) you must manually figure out the barometric pressure at sea level, of the position where you are currently located. Without this information, the weather indicator will display incorrect information.Had I known about the limitations (Primarily the poor readability and incorrect temperature readings), I would not have bought this product.
