AcuRite Weather Station for Rain Gauge and Lightning Detection

Stay informed about severe weather conditions in your area! The AcuRite Color Weather Station, equipped with a Rain Gauge and Lightning Detection, enables you to monitor hazardous lightning strikes and significant rainfall, which could lead to flooding. This feature allows you to take necessary precautions to safeguard your home and loved ones.

The device is capable of detecting lightning strikes within a 25-mile (40-kilometer) radius, wirelessly sending data every 24 seconds under normal conditions. When lightning is detected, it increases the transmission frequency to every 8 seconds for a duration of 30 minutes. Additionally, the rain gauge wirelessly measures precipitation (in inches or millimeters) and has a self-emptying rain collection cup for effortless maintenance, ensuring you stay informed without the extra work.

The weather station boasts an illuminated color display that can be easily placed on a tabletop or mounted on the wall. It includes an integrated digital clock and date feature, effectively serving as a weather clock. This product makes for an ideal gift for occasions such as Father's Day, Christmas, or birthdays, and provides a precise hyperlocal forecast extending 12 hours from your current conditions. Utilizing patented self-calibrating technology, it combines data from barometric pressure and elevation to deliver accurate predictions right from your backyard.

This Color Weather Station provides a comprehensive range of information, including counts of lightning strikes, rainfall measurements, outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, heat index, dew point, barometric pressure, along with time and date.

When lightning strikes are detected within 25 miles, this station offers both an audible alarm and a warning light, as well as a running total of strikes and stats for the week and the month. Its rain gauge can measure rainfall from up to 100 feet (30 meters) away, providing you with updates while maintaining a self-emptying feature to ensure you remain dry and informed.

The display also maintains historical rainfall records, showing data from the past 48 hours, along with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly totals. The hyperlocal forecast is made possible through self-calibrating technology that takes into account barometric pressure and elevation, ensuring an accurate prediction based on your current conditions.

You can keep track of high and low records for outdoor temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, and lightning strikes, with these values resetting daily at midnight. Programmable weather alarms allow users to set custom thresholds for outdoor temperature, humidity, lightning strikes, and rainfall, generating audible alerts and visible signals when parameters are met.
