La Crosse Weather Direct uses Internet for data

Posted in CES 2008, La Crosse, Weather Stations by Nino Marchetti on January 11th, 2008

La Crosse Weather DirectEverything in technology is getting more advanced and convergent it seems like. We even now have Internet-powered weather stations, as unveiled by La Crosse Technology this week at CES. The company’s Weather Direct system will consist of a product line with prices ranging from around $50 to $130.

The La Crosse Weather Direct platform uses a high speed Internet connection “to deliver customizable multi-day forecasts and current weather information for up to five cities of the more than 600 available city choices.” You can get this information in the form of on-screen displays, weather alerts and voice greetings. A Weather Direct station must be connected through Ethernet to work properly.

You can get more information on the La Crosse Weather Direct after the jump.

The BAR210 weather forecaster from Oregon Scientific

I’m pretty sure the Coneheads own this weather forecaster from Oregon Scientific. If they don’t, they should see if they have a baby missing. This one has 2001: A Space Odyssey type good looks for sure. It’s definitely a flashback to 1960s space-age and Eames era decorating style. The BAR210 features easy-to-read numbers, and you can switch easily between time and temperature with a wave of your hand.

Colorful weather forecast icons will light up to indicate sun, rain or clouds, so you’ll know what the weather is like with just a glance. It will show you either indoor or outdoor temperatures with the included wireless temperature sensor. Time is automatically set with a remote atomic clock, so the time can’t get more accurate. The price is $47.95.

Stripping weather girl digital weather station

You know those cable stations peppered around the globe where they have a stripping newswomen? Well, this is the digital weather version. A weather girl strips piece by piece to tell you the time, temperature and the humidity. Ok, she doesn’t really strip in the traditional sense. She changes her clothes depending on the weather. What a tease!(Both her and the manufacturer.)

If it’s hot enough, she’ll get down to just her bikini. No word on how she bundles up during the winter. The winter months would obviously be very un-stimulating for any guy that happens to be turned on by this digital diva.

Posted in Outdoors, Weather Stations by Nino Marchetti on July 30th, 2007

The Ambient Umbrella’s handle illuminates when precipitation is expected, to remind the user to carry the Umbrella and Ambient Devices, its maker, says its illumination behavior changes …

Waterdrop Weather Station / Alarm Clock

Posted in Clocks, Weather Stations by Darrin Olson on July 27th, 2007

Waterdrop weather station from sharper imageThe Waterdrop Weather Station from Sharper Image acts as both an alarm clock to wake you with information on the time, weather and more. This probably could just as easily have been an egg or football weather station, but since it’s reporting the weather I guess it makes sense that they refer to it’s geometry as a drop of water.

When the alarm rings there’s no need to fumble around trying to find the snooze button to get yourself 5 more minutes of shut-eye. By simply waving your hand within 3 inches of …
