Default Outside readings from the Inside

...
My virtually antique temperature reader with wire probe leading to
the ouside, (takes 2x AA's) that I have mounted on the wall of my
living room, has certainly seen nearly the best part of 30years. I
bought it from the sales shop at the London Weather Centre in the
glory days of Jack Scott i think when you could see the duty
forecaster read out the weather at 5.55pm from High Holborn. Anyone
Remember that!


.... been there, done that :-)

So i'm looking for something similar (these days we have radio
control units mounted outside) I don't want anything really
sophisticated like everything wind speed et al I noticed this --
anyone have any comments to make?

.... I have a 'Science Museum' unit - simple external temperature
sensor mounted in my screen - to house unit which also monitors
pressure, internal RH, internal temperature etc. Can recommend that.
Looks similar ....
