Do you have a weather station? I have been thinking about getting one for Weather Underground... Are they good?

If you get one, drop some bills and get a good one.

Lakeland, FL: USDA Zone 2023: 10a  2012: 9b  1990: 9a | Record Low: 20F/-6.67C (Jan. 1985, Dec.1962)

I have an Accurite 5 in 1 pro that also has a web interface. It is a good one that is reasonably priced. I have mine listed on WeatherUndergroud.

I bought this weather station about a year ago that is made to be used on Wunderground. It was only $60 when I purchased it and well worth the money. What I like about Wunderground is how it continuously records all your data so you're able to look back and see what it was at any given time rather than just recording the max/min like you normally get with a thermometer. That said, I've had a problem with the daily summary not displaying for the past week so I'm hoping the Wunderground staff will eventually get back with me on fixing this problem. :unsure:

Davis vantage pro for me. Wireless solar powered, data logger and links to an app on my phone with thousands of others around the globe.  You can see all of them on the davis weather map online. 

I just got this: ambient wireless weather ws-10  with 3 sensors. Seems to do a decent job and I can have the station in my shop where my potted plants are and monitor my circus tents. If I keep this hobby up I will surely upgrade to something online for remote access. But for now this works well enough!

I have used several different stations over the years but finally upgraded to the Davis Vantage pro2.  Over three years in use with zero issues.  This site typically has the best price:https://www.scientificsales.com/Davis-6152-Wireless-Vantage-Pro2-6510USB-p/6152-6510usb.htm
