I got one from Clas Ohlsen for 49.99 and also a 5 discount voucher you can
print off and take into the store, making it 44.99.http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Product/Product.aspx?id=158189912It's the same
one as the Maplin one other posters have mentioned. Hope you have a Clas
Ohlsen nearby as I don't think they do mail order.

Hi all,

I'm after some advice.

Basically I am looking for a relatively cheap (approx 100 or less!)
weather station which I will be able to connect to my computer to
store my data. All I am after is a station that measures temperature
and humidity as I'm not currently living somewhere where I will be
able to accurately measure rainfall and wind (although if the price is
right then it doesn't really matter!)

I have looked at quite a few different Oregon Scientific stations but
lots of reviews mention that the software package included is very
poor/ the station loses contact with the sensors when you download.

I have Windows 7, which could make things a bit more awkward with
compatible software.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Luke


Thanks for all the tips. What is everyone's views on Oregon Scientific
stations? I quite like the look of a couple of them, however is it
just the software they come bundled with that I have heard is poor,
and if so, are OS stations compatible with Cumulus?

Thanks again,

Luke
