Features of the AcuRite 02007
This unit from AcuRite features the very easy on the eye, colored screen. This screen can be adjusted for brightness from a low setting to a middle brightness setting to the brightest setting.
Customers really like the colored display which makes it easier to read and visually pleasing. Here's a Look at What You May Be Missing
It is also very easy to read because the numbers and letters are large enough and illuminated enough to be read well.
Both by quick glances and taking a concentrated studied look.
At night you may want to dim it down. Some customers have reported that it can be pretty bright at night with no other lights on.
They have tried to sleep with it in their bedroom and experienced trouble sleeping with just how bright it was.
It also will display both your outdoor temperature currently as well as your indoor temperature right now for you.
This unit includes settings for indoor and outdoor barometric pressure readings, a 12 hour high and low pressure readings as well.
It will present you with the Intelli-time clock know for it’s accuracy and the date is given to you too.
What’s Most Intriguing To Me
The quickest way that I could describe to you the AcuRite 02007 Digital Home Station is that it will break down your upcoming weather forecasts into 3 sections of the day.
The AcuRite Digital Weather Station uses patent-pending Precision Forecasting Technology to provide your personal forecast of morning, noon and nighttime weather conditions.
How the Forecasting Is Presented
AcuRite 02007 Weather Station with Morning Noon and Night Precision Forecast
I generalized when I said it was set up as a morning, afternoon, evening forecast cycle. The precision forecasting technology that is used by AcuRite combines North America’s regional weather patterns with data measured by precision weather instruments.
These weather sensors are positioned in your yard to generate the most accurate forecast available for your location.
Also to to be more accurate about the displays presentation of information on the three screens.
This is actually how they are presenting the forecasts.
The three forecast screens present to you the next 4 hours weather report. Then another screen is giving you the next 4-8 hours forecast.
The last of the three screens has a 8-12 hours (from now) forecast for your area.
Using the Forecasting Tool
When using the forecaster tool on the AcuRite 02007 you need set up the geographical region that you live in the United States. The Geo precision settings are there you make your forecaster much more accurate for you.
The Geo settings are set up by pressing the “GEO” button, located on the back of the unit in the battery compartment.
The letters for each corresponding GEO region are shown on the display screen to help you pick and set up your correct region.

Pricing-Persuading a Purchase
If you examine closing most of the AcuRite personal weather stations have many similarities to them. This one is no different than previous AcuRite released units.
They all have seemed to be competitively priced as well as they get good reviews from the majority of the purchasers.
I believe the prices paid for an AcuRite are very fair for the quality of the product, the lasting pleasure you will get from owning one as well.
I see a large advantage to this model that hasn’t been offered before. I absolutely am stoked about the forecast breakdown into 3 different time periods.
Instead of getting a large lumped (very general) forecast, I now will receive my immediate conditions expected as well as what will be happening tonight where I live. It will help to plan out things better, plain and simple.
I believe these extra things plus the Geo Targeting can only make my case stronger for you making this decision to buy easier for you.
My Review Summation
AcuRite 02007 Home Weather Station w/ Morning Noon and Night Precision Forecast
I see this product from AcuRite to be a good value. I see the features far outweigh any pre-conceived notions you may have had before you invested your time to study about it.
Whether or not you buy this particular model from AcuRite, it looks to me as if these personal weather stations are great buys for weather lovers.
I would be the first to admit that this wouldn’t be something for a very died in the wool weather person, but for a family member who has some interest in the weather, or your wife, your husband, son or daughter, who would just plain find this to be very useful in helping to plan out their days, I can’t see how you would go wrong.
Enjoy your new personal weather station and thanks for reading.
