Q: What weather variables are measured and recorded? |
 |  |  | | |  | Most other stations offer barometric pressure, outside humidity and dew point, daily and yearly rainfall, wind speed and direction, wind chill, and outside temperature. Some also offer inside temperature and humidity, and a few even give you extra outside temperature readings and current rain race. The Vantage Pro2 gives you all these, plus:
Additional Rainfall: 15-minute rainfall, hourly and monthly rainfall, and rainfall amounts for each of the last 24 storms.
Additional Wind Speed: 10-minute average wind speed, direction of high speed, and 10-minute dominant wind direction.
Apparent Temperature: Heat index (the combined effects of temperature and humidity) and, with the addition of solar radiation sensor, temperature-humidity-sun-wind-index.
Optional Sensors for Solar and UV Radiation: something that's becoming more important as we become increasingly aware of the dangers to health caused by excess excessive exposure to the sun.
Additional Information (with optional sensors) for agricultural users: Evapo-Transpiration, leaf wetness, soil moisture, and soil temperature.

And not only can you view the data numerically, you'll also see it on the Vantage Pro's on-screen graphs, giving you instantaneous visual representations of long-term trends.
