Majorca Weather Forecast » Majorca Alcudia Weather Forecast

How many times have you checked the weather forecast on the TV in the morning, only to notice later in the day that the weather you experienced did not match the forecast? The geography of your local area could be responsible for creating a micro-climate that is at odds with the wider region, or the forecast could just have been too general to be accurate for your area.

Whatever the reason, it can be frustrating. The solution comes in the form of the latest "must have" gadget for your home -- the wireless weather station. Banish from your mind's eye any images of you braving the howling wind or pouring rain to read an outdoor thermometer or barometer. The biggest advantage of a wireless weather station is exactly that -- it's wireless.

To set up your weather station you simply mount the supplied wireless sensor on the outside of your house or in your garden. It is small and unobtrusive, so there are no ugly aerials, cables or other paraphernalia to worry about. You can position the sensor up to about 30m away from the base station.

Although there are many different makes and models of weather station available, most of the base stations are stylish, well designed items of home electronics that will not look out of place in the most modern of homes. There are free-standing desk top or wall-mounting versions with large, clear digital displays. The data collected by the sensor is transmitted to and displayed by the base station which you can locate anywhere in your home. Time and date are often radio controlled, so you never need to worry about setting them, they are updated automatically.

Prices start from as little as $20 for a basic, single sensor model that monitors only a few things like inside and outside temperature and humidity. But you can spend up to several hundred dollars on a professional model with additional sensors to monitor barometric pressure, wind speed and direction and rainfall. For this price you should expect to get features like touch screen functionality, solar powered sensors and a data upload facility to your PC.

A wireless weather station is sophisticated simplicity, is a great gift for the weather watcher, outdoor enthusiast or avid gardener in your life and makes an attractive and very functional addition to your home.
