Christmas is coming

[4cast]

Hello, I am not a Netweather member but my wife is a keen member, though I do not know her forum moniker.

I want to buy her a home weather station for Christmas, with an outside module and wireless internal monitor, internet and preferably PC connectivity, in the £250-500 range.

I would be most grateful for suggestions as to the best product to buy.

Regards

Keith Greenish

Welcome to the community @Keith Greenish,  I've just moved this over to our weather stations forum where I'm sure you'll get an answer to your question

Based on your budget and needs I would suggest a Davis Vantage Vue which cost around £300-400

You will need to buy the Davis software to connect it to your PC which costs around £100.

All the best!

If she is a member, i suggest you delete your account or the posts once you have gathered the info you need, else she will find out what you have bought her.

I can certainly recommend this. Bit pricy but if it’s within your budget it’s definitely one of the best you can get without sending over £500.

Thanks to you all, Davis Vantage Vue definitely seems to be the way to go. And thanks to feb1991blizzard, will  now delete my account and join again later

There's nothing wrong with the davis logger but can I suggest this wifi logger as an alternative

https://www.weatherstations.co.uk/new-wifi-logger-for-davis-stations.htm

it's good to have choices.

There is also the Ecowitt stuff which is getting mixed revues and some issues ordering it but so far I have had no major problems it has a lot more options than the davis stuff and looks a whole lot more modern.
