The Ambient Weather WM-5 allows you to track weather in the palm of your hand! Radio/TV reports cover a large area, but WM-5's data is specific to your location:
Windspeed (Current, Avg, & Max)
Temp w/ Windchill & Heat Index
Relative Humidity w/ Dewpoint
Barometric Pressure & 16-Hr History Bar Graph
Altitude
Unlike other units, the jackknife case gives you the most accurate measurements--your hand's heat/moisture won't influence the environmental sensors. The WM-5 wind meters are designed with a wind speed accuracy of better than +/- 3%. The Honeywell humidity sensor and the Swiss-made barometer can be easily re-calibrated and the unit has a weather alert if the barometric pressure rises or falls 6 millibars over 3-hrs.
The WM-5 can be tripod mounted using the optional tripod mounting fixture.
Measurements may be taken beyond the limits of the operational temperature range of the display and batteries by maintaining the unit within the operational range and then exposing it to the more extreme environment for the minimum time necessary to take a reading.
