British weather is always so unpredictable. Some days, there can be strong winds with rain and other days can be just calm and cold. Why not get this fun 5-in-1 weather station for your garden and record the details for yourself? Learn how to measure these conditions like a true meteorologist.
This weather station is so easy to set up – simply unscrew the cap, insert the three anemometer cups at the top and attach the mounting post on the base. Next, look for the best place to place your weather station. Note that is best to place it in the garden and out of direct sunlight.
With this weather station, you can track daily conditions, run experiments, record measurements and notice how your readings change throughout the year. There are three anemometer cups that will spin to measure the wind speed; the readings can be seen on the gauge in either miles or kilometres per hour. There is also an indicator arrow for the wind direction.
To measure the amount of rainfall over a particular period, simply pull out the rain gauge cup, which measures in both cm and inches. I do find it quite hit and miss. Sometimes the rain does not fall into the cup as the position of the weather station can block it depending on the direction of the rainfall. Hence it is not always accurate.
Positioned next to the rain gauge, there are the integrated compass and thermometer. The compass can be used with the wind direction arrow to see which direction the wind is blowing. The thermometer measures temperature in both degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit.
This indeed is a fun weather station to have. It has everything you need to record the British weather! This weather station is available to buy from Argos, including Science Mad! Light Up Globe, Science Mad! 30mm Telescope (RRP £15.99), among other items.
Look out for other great kits and equipment in the range, including the Science Mad! Chemistry Lab, the Science Mad! Crystal Growing Lab, the Science Mad! Planetarium Star Globe, the Science Mad! Night Vision Goggles, the Science Mad! Rock Tumbler and the Science Mad! Digital Metal Detector.
