Digital weather stations
Play yourself for meteorologist
Do you follow the weather forecasts closely? With a digital weather station you can play for meteorologist yourself. These weather stations are capable of measuring a large amount of meteorological data, from air humidity to wind speed. On the basis of these data you learn more and more about the weather and you are always aware of changes in the weather type.

More about digital weather stations
Using the temperature, air pressure and air humidity data, a forecast can be made about the weather. The Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate, where the most diverse weather conditions can occur. One moment rains the pipes, while an hour later it is sunny again. That is why it is very useful to have a weather station, which keeps you informed of the current and future weather.
Benefits of a digital weather station
The big advantage of digital weather stations compared to analogue weather stations is that they usually use external (usually wireless) sensors that can be placed outdoors. A digital weather station can for example be supplied with a rain gauge, thermometer, anemometer, barometer and / or hygrometer. These sensors collect meteorological data and send it to the main station that is placed indoors. Digital weather stations are available in many types and sizes. The simplest models usually have one external thermo-hygrometer that measures the temperature and humidity. However, there are also very extensive weather stations with multiple sensors and useful alarm functions. Some models can be connected to a computer, with which you can manage all measurement data.
Convenient functions of digital weather stations
In addition to the use of one or more sensors, digital weather stations have even more extensive functions and features than analog models. For example, digital weather stations often have a clock with day and / or month indication, a representation of the air pressure by means of a bar chart and an extensive memory. By combining the different measurement data, a prediction can be made of the weather in the (near) future. At many weather stations a weather forecast is shown on the basis of the measured values by means of clear symbols.
Alarm functions and comfort level
The somewhat expensive models are often equipped with various alarm functions that you can set at minimum and maximum values. When the temperature or humidity, for example, exceeds the value you have set, the alarm will sound. On many weather stations you can also set an alarm at a certain time, so these models can also be used as alarms. A related function of the alarm function is the 'comfort level', which indicates to what extent the combination of the measured values creates a feeling of distress.
Moon and tides
A display of the lunar phases, the tides and the time zone in which you go are also often possible. Some digital weather stations can also be used in combination with a PC, with which you can manage your measurement data.
About the sensors
Digital weather stations often use external sensors that collect and send measurement data to the main station, where you can easily read them. Generally, one sensor is supplied as standard, but some weather stations are suitable for multiple sensors. This can be multiple sensors of the same type, so for example you can connect a second thermo-hygrometer. This can be very useful if, for example, you want to monitor the temperature of your wine cellar or cold store as well as outside. There are also digital weather stations where you can connect different types of sensors. In that case, you can also connect a rain gauge, for example, in addition to a thermo-hygrometer. With each product it is indicated whether it is suitable for connecting multiple sensors. In addition, in this webshop you can also find separate sensors under the accessories, which you can connect to your weather station.
The difference between radio-controlled and digital weather stations
Radio-controlled and digital weather stations both use radio signals, but what exactly is the difference between the two types? When a digital weather station uses wireless sensors, the measurement data from these sensors are sent to the main station via radio signals. This usually takes place at a wavelength of 433 MHz, but there are also models that use 868 MHz. A higher wavelength has a larger range, so that you are less affected by interference. When a digital weather station is equipped with the weather forecast function, it is based on the measurement data of the sensors. With a radio-controlled weather station, the weather forecast is received via the DCF77 radio signal, as described above.
And what about a radio-controlled clock?
In addition to a radio-controlled weather forecast via Meteotime, both a radio-controlled and a digital weather station can have a radio-controlled clock. In that case, the time always corresponds to the atomic clock in Frankfurt and the time is thus displayed very accurately. Because the fully synchronized weather stations are on the pricey side, models with a radio-controlled clock are widespread.
