This weather station is extremely quick and easy to set up, consisting of nothing more than either connecting to a USB-C power source or fitting three AAA batteries (not included). On powering on, the settings are radio controlled so the time, date and moon phase are set automatically and the outdoor temperature is read from the separate AAA-battery powered outdoor unit.

On testing the outdoor unit, there is a temperature reading discrepancy of 0.5°C when compared with other monitors and placing the outdoor unit indoors beside the indoor unit. However, this doesn't worry me as a domestic user.

Features include a graphical weather indication, barometric pressure (missing on several other weather stations), humidity readings, a clock and alarm clock. For severe weather, alerts can be set such as a warning of frost or excessive heat in order to protect vulnerable plants or cover a car windscreen to protect from frost. On the reverse, the instructions are printed to remind users how to use the weather station's additional features. So many instruction manuals are mis-filed or lost so having the instructions printed on the actual product can be incredibly helpful.

The display is bright and clear and can be hung on a wall or used on a desk via the integrated stand. Yesterday, we had a power cut during a storm and within minutes of the power being restored, the unit reset and was running again with no user intervention.

We've used a few weather stations and this is the best of them all, so far.

Recommended for its easy of use, complete reliability, full range of features and attractive appearance too.
