Wireless Multi-Channel Thermometer - Know the Temp in Many Places

Soon you're going to want to know the temperature in the shade and in full sunlight. Having a wireless thermometer with a set of wireless transmitters is the way to go, and you might even want a third wireless thermometer sensor for the greenhouse. The kit includes one remote sensor, which can be stationed up to 120 feet away and sends signals every 30 seconds. The main unit's LCD screen lets you assign a channel to each remote, and then scroll through the menu as necessary. You can also set temperature range limits, program alarms, and recall recent highs and lows at each location.

Get Tornado Alerts with the Midland WR-100B SAME Weather and All Hazards Alert Monitor

Given the high amount of tornados this Spring, we recommend getting an alert monitor if you really want to stay in touch with what's going on in your area for emergencies. Capable of receiving seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels--each of which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe thunderstorms, civil danger warnings, and more--the WR-100B is a must for people who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast or Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered regardless of where they live.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
We remember this book on food weather from our library when we were just a wee weather kid. If you can't enjoy a storm of meatballs - what can you enjoy? Life is delicious in the town of Chewandswallow where it rains soup and juice, snows mashed potatoes, and blows storms of hamburgers--until the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Nerf Weather Blitz Football

The NERF WEATHER BLITZ is a tough all weather football. Designed with a weather resistant surface and finger grips so the ball won't slip from your hand, the WEATHER BLITZ football actually plays better in wet weather. We wish we would have had this football growing up. Perhaps we might have even won a few games with less slip-ups.

Koalas are the latest possible causality of global warming, threatened by the rising level of carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere because which is sapping nutrients from the eucalyptus leaves they feed on.

The Most Polluted Cities in the US - Ozone Weather

The picture above shows the city of Houston bathed in ozone filled pollution. If you really want to see what effect pollution has on the weather, and the way it looks, you may want to visit some of the Most Polluted Cities in the US. Or not. We live in Boston, so the pollution here just doesn't make it into the top 20, and we're really glad. And it should be no surprise to anyone that Los Angeles is the most polluted with ozone. Click on through to see more shots of polluted cities and how they look.

The Weather Channel Projection Weather Station

From The Weather Channel, this home weather station shines the outdoor temperature and time on the ceiling or a wall from its side-ported projector. The radio-controlled clock regularly resets, adapting to changes in time zone and daylight savings time. With moon, tide, and barometric pressure gauges, the weather station also comes with forecasting capabilities. We love the blue backlit display, and you'll really like the large display to see the weather for the day across the room.

Microsoft Drops SPOT Weather Watch Project

Microsoft is quietly pulling the plug on their SPOT weather watch and MSDN project. What are you losing? The SPOT Watch aimed at providing real-time weather and schedule updates to the wrists of the weather obsessed everywhere. The technology will no longer be built into any new watches, and the most recent examples have sold out across the web.
Bummer. We really liked this service and we think it was perfect for watches. Hopefully someone else will build this into a watch or provide a similar service in the future.

Wireless Digital Rain Gauge - Meaure Rainfall

Wireless weather gauges are the way to go. Not only will they let you know how much rain is falling without getting wet, they also allow you to get a reading at the device itself with an LCD display. This wireless weather gauge however is not wireless - it's just battery powered. Oh well - most modern weather stations come with one that is wireless and transmits the data inside, but if you want a "wireless" weather gauge on the cheap - this is for you. The LCD display on the front shows how much rainfall has transpired, and you can reset the rain gauge with the push of a button.
