1. Netatmo Indoor & Outdoor Weather Station
Your indoor environment is just as important as the outdoor environment, and maybe even more so. After all, you probably spend much more time inside than outside.
With the Netatmo Indoor & Outdoor Weather Station, you can keep track of indoor noise levels as well as indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity, barometric pressure, and air quality.
You can get notifications on your phone about any number of things, including when you should open your windows to improve your indoor air quality.
For even more weather information, you can pair the Netatmo Indoor & Outdoor Weather Station with the Netatmo Rain Gauge Weather Station and other accessories for a more complete weather picture.
2. WeatherFlow Bluetooth WEATHERmeter
Want to know about the current conditions anywhere you are without bulky equipment? Whether you’re managing your crops or about to jump out of a plane, sometimes you need to know things like the temperature, wind direction, or humidity level.
With that in mind, you can hold the WeatherFlow Bluetooth WEATHERmeter in your hand or attach it to any 1/4-20 camera mount.
This handy device sends information to your phone from up to 100 feet away, works with multiple applications, and records:
- Temperature
- Relative humidity
- Heat index
- Wind chill
- Pressure and dew point

3. What The Forecast?!! Funny Weather App
If you like to tackle life’s everyday frustrations with a sense of humor, you’ll love the What The Forecast?!! Funny Weather App.
This isn’t your ordinary weather app. Sure, you can get the 10-day forecast and weather alerts from NOAA. But you also get more than 8200 obnoxious phrases describing the current weather conditions!
With switchable profanity settings (on, some, or off), everybody can enjoy this app. Some of the weather-related phrases you might get include:
- “It’s hotter than a pair of balls in skinny jeans.”
- “It’s partly cloudy out. What’s the other part? Shame.”
- “It’s a great day for naps. Followed by naps.”
What The Forecast?!! Funny Weather App is free, accurate, and funny – but it’s available for iOS only.
4. AcuRite Atlas 01007M Weather Station
Are you looking for a comprehensive weather station for your home that does it all? Do you want a system that includes an HD touchscreen display as well as real-time weather conditions sent to your phone, tablet, or computer?
You get all of that with the AcuRite Atlas 01007M Weather Station. It detects and measures:
- Wind gust and wind chill
- Rain
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Lightning
- UV
You can customize your alerts so you know when you need to cover your plants, bring in your patio furniture, or apply extra sunscreen to your kids before they go outside.
5. Weather Predicting Black Swan
You don’t need fancy technology for some weather forecasting. Keep it simple with this lovely Weather Predicting Black Swan.
Sailors have used barometers to predict upcoming storms for more than 400 years. The technology is easy to understand:
- When a storm is coming, the atmospheric pressure drops, which causes the liquid in the swan’s neck to rise toward the head.
- When there’s fair weather incoming, the atmospheric pressure rises and causes the liquid to sink lower in the swan’s neck.
The swan comes with black dye and a syringe. All you need to do is add water to predict incoming storms without any wires, wi-fi, or batteries!
Weather Gadgets For The Home
6. Govee Smart WiFi Water Sensors

13. Air Pressure Storm Cloud
Weather gadgets don’t need to be fancy. They can also be simple and beautiful.
Robert Fitzroy, captain of HMS Beagle (which took Charles Darwin on his famous, five-year voyage), popularized “storm glass,” the ancestor of the Air Pressure Storm Cloud.
The special liquid inside this cute cloud crystallizes in different patterns based on changes to the barometric pressure.
Keep in mind that this Storm Cloud will be in a state of disruption after shipping. It will take about a week of being settled in a place without major temperature changes before it settles and starts working properly.
14. Kids Weather Chart
Who says weather gadgets are only for adults? Help teach your kids about the weather with this Kids Weather Chart.
A wheel at the top of the maple board includes wonderful weather watercolor paintings, while a dial points to the temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, plus words like “cold,” “cool,” “warm,” or “hot” to help your kids start to understand the relationship between the temperature in degrees and how it feels.
This weather chart can be hung on a wall or propped up with a stand (sold separately) and makes a wonderful companion piece to the Wooden Perpetual Calendars by the same seller (From Jennifer).

Anybody who has ever had to shovel snow knows just how heavy it can be.

For those that keep a close eye on the weather in winter, the Prime Wire & Cable Roof & Gutter De-icing Kit will keep you well equipped and won’t let the weather outside impact your home.
