Davis Instruments Vantage Vue: Davis has the most accurate weather sensors available in consumer-level weather stations and pioneered the all-in-one sensor body that’s seen in so many of our recommendations, but we no longer recommend the Vantage Vue due to the high price, complicated controls, and features locked behind a paywall that are free els...
We know that there are many reasons people need weather stations, so we aimed to test a variety of systems with different capabilities. We included both offline and connected weather stations, as well as weather stations with a wide variety of different instruments to accommodate a variety of purposes. As we began the selection process, we started ...
We tested 18 weather stations in our own homes scattered across eight different states to monitor local weather conditions, inform daily wardrobe choices, determine when to skip watering lawns and gardens, and other purposes. Each weather station was evaluated for ease of setup, design, connectivity, features, effectiveness, and value. 1. Ease of s...
Sensor Variety and Accuracy
When you first start looking for a home weather station, it’s important to think about the sensors you want or need. According to Matt Makens, meteorologist and weather consultant for Makens Weather, temperature and humidity are the two most important sensors. Basic weather stations like the AcuRite Digital Vertical Weather Forecaster 01121M(our best value pick) include those in addition to barometric pressure. That’s enough for basic local forecasts and to help you decide on an outfit or whe...
Siting and Transmission Range
When you think about where you want to place your weather station, and whether it will be within range of your base station or display, make sure to take siting (location and placement) into consideration. Weather stations need to be placed as far as possible from obstructions like buildings and trees, and several feet off the ground to avoid incorrect readings. The best wind readings are taken about 30 feet in the air, while temperature and humidity readings are more useful when taken about...
Construction Quality and Durability
Home weather stations are constantly exposed to the elements, including sun, rain, wind, and snow, so durability is an important consideration. The manufacturers featured here are all known for making durable weather stations, and none of the systems we tested showed any wear and tear during the initial testing period, but weather stations can and do wear down over time. If you want the most durable weather station possible, avoid the cheaper ones, not because of data quality, but because the...
Comprehensive and Readable Displays
Most home weather stations include an indoor base station with a display, but that isn’t always the case. If you want to be able to check the temperature and other readings at a glance, look for a weather station that includes a large display that’s easy to read. The Ambient Weather WS-5000(our best features pick) comes with a large full color LCD display that’s one of the best we’ve ever seen in a home weather station, but it packs in a lot of information and some of the numbers are pretty s...
Wi-Fi Connectivity and Smart Features
Wi-Fi connectivity is a must-have feature if you want to be able to check in on your weather station when you aren’t home. Some of the models we tested included Wi-Fi connectivity, and some didn’t, and we found that this was the one feature we missed the most when it wasn’t present. When a home weather station has Wi-Fi connectivity, you can often send data to the Weather Underground and other internet weather sites and contribute to a network of local weather stations. In addition to sending...
Additional Sensors for More Useful Data
Most home weather stations come with a set of sensors, and that’s it. If you want the option to add more sensors in the future, then look for a weather station that’s expandable. Our best compact pick, the EcoWitt Wittboy, measures seven data points, but you can also expand it with soil moisture sensors, air quality sensors, pool thermometers, and more.
