After a thorough look over, the Ambient Weather WS-2902 Pro Weather Station is definitely a must-have. 

If you are as keenly psyched by the weather as I am then this is YOUR equipment.

I was looking at the ambient weather WS series and they appear to be very competitive in the personal weather stations space online.

As I explored this internet weather station it most assuredly does have some very nice features included in it.

Let’s take a closer look at the Ambient Weather instruments that are included in this personal weather station.

The pro station measures the following for you. It measures wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, outdoor temperature, and humidity, as well as solar radiation and UV wave levels.

Also included for additional measurement inside the console are temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.

The weather station also calculates the dew point, the wind chill factor, and the heat index. Also measured by the Ambient Weather instruments, the peak wind gusts, and light levels.

This unit has a weather forecaster as part of its programming. When in use the weather forecasting uses the following icons. The five weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy, and Snowy.

The forecast icon is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. Please allow at least one month for the weather station to learn the barometric pressure over time.
