A good quality weather station will give you accurate readings that can help you make informed decisions about how to prepare yourself or your family for any upcoming storms. A bad weather station could lead to costly repairs if not installed correctly. So before buying a new weather station, consider these factors first.

Which one should be your personal meteorologist?

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about buying a new outdoor or indoor wireless weather station is how much it will cost. There’s no denying that these devices can get expensive if you want them all tricked out with features like rain gauge, barometric pressure gauges, thermometers, humidity meters, etc.

But what if I told you there was another option besides spending thousands of dollars on fancy gadgets?

What if I said there were some great options available at affordable prices?

Well, then this article would make sense because we’re going to show you just that. In fact, we found several models under $100 that offer everything you need to keep track of temperature, wind speed, precipitation levels, air quality, UV index, and even pollen count.

So let’s take a look at each model below so you know exactly what you’ll be getting before making any purchases.
