You should consider the BlackShark wireless indoor outdoor station monitor as a selection to seriously take a look at.

We will go over the reasons why this station could be a great choice for you.

What you are considering is the price, the visual look of the weather unit, and whether it matches up with your list of the things you know that person would want to have on a weather station.

What items are on that list: probably the following items. Indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, precipitation amounts, windy speed, a clock, and a weather forecaster as well.

Maybe you are looking for other features, but those are some of the basics.

Description

This weather monitor is designed for the casual natural elements fan. A person who wants to include general weather information in their daily routine, well this station is made for this type of user.

What comes with your purchase is an indoor and outdoor display unit that can either hang it up (wall mount) or stand up on its own in a location in your home.

The weather station weather is a digitally presented screen. The display is grey colored and the information is displayed as dark black letters and numbers.

Then the outdoor sensor displays the temperature and humidity.

It also uses wireless transmission, so send the temperature and humidity levels to the indoor unit.

The climate unit’s main console displays a wide range of information in an easy-to-read format on a large LCD.

It monitors the temperature, humidity, outdoor dew point, as well as barometric pressure (both sea-level and measured), and features a 24 hr. pressure history chart to track trends.

It also has a tendency indicator for an observer’s viewing to keep up with the outside elements

The Estimated Weather Forecast Tendency Indicator lets you know at a glance if it’s going to be rainy, cloudy, or sunny based on barometric pressure trends.

Dimensions

Measures 7-1/4” long, 4” wide, and 1” thick with an attached folding stand.

There is a mention of a backlight. But with the size of the display monitor, I would recommend, you should be aware of the need to put it near a light source for night viewing and put it near a good daytime light source as well.

This will ensure you will be able to read it clearly at all times

How Powered

Blackshark Wireless Indoor & Outdoor Digital Weather Station Clock-Battery-powered only. Not able to plugin for an energy source. Electricity not available

3 “AA” batteries for the inside located display monitor unit

2 “AAA” batteries for the outside located sensor.

Please be aware it is probably better to use Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are specifically designed for outdoor uses.

I exclusively always use Lithium batteries in my weather stations on my property.

They hold up better in the brutish outside cold temperatures.

Pros

Both the sensor unit and the display unit can be wall-mounted
Unit is quite accurate as reported by customers
The price is right good value for the purchase price
Display is easy to read – large characters
Instruction manual included

Cons for the BlackShark Weather Station

Directions could be clearer. The instruction manual that is provided is lacking
Batteries not included
The outside sensor only reports in Celsius. Not able to report in Fahrenheit readings. Only available as centigrade
Inability to change the date format from Day, Month, Year to the more standard way of reading dates in the USA of Month, Day, Year
Clock is not atomic. Needs to be set manually
Instruction manual, or service manual not online
Relative readings accuracy are questioned

Consumer Ratings

In my research of the Black Shark weather station, I found that it seems that the Amazon customers were either really enjoying their bargain purchase or were very unsatisfied with the unit as a whole.

After taking a good solid look at the BlackShark,  I find it to be a good selection for a casual daily climate person. If you are beyond being a casual fan of the climate then you will want to move on.

I liked it for its features and the simplicity of reporting the measurements it does provide. The biggest thing was that some customers were upset with the accuracy of the relative humidity. If that is really important to you, please take that into consideration in your decision.

The other thing that surprisingly really bugged a handful of owners was the outside temperature can only be reported in Centigrade. People were upset that it wasn’t in Fahrenheit readings.

Rating this model for a mild admirer of daily climate I give it a solid 4.0-star rating. If your special person is well beyond this then please check out our many other more serious fans of weather stations that I have reviewed.

Price of the BlackShark Weather Station

In shopping online for these stations, you will usually find three types of prices. One will be the lower-priced units which often are lacking in specific wow factors but usually provide excellent simple weather measurements for a decent price.

This is where the casual fan of climate will find their choice of a unit that provides for their needs.
