Get Prepared for the Next Weather Event

Expecting a rainy spring or fall coming up? Perhaps you’re just anticipating a wild summer of hot, humid spells, or a winter with some especially cold, windy snaps. No matter what Life Out Here has in store for your property, the right equipment can help you get a better idea of the forecast and climate conditions. Choose among the following to help you plan for the season:

Rain Gauges

These tools can tell you how much precipitation you're getting over a specific area. In doing so, they can help you understand rainfall and snow accumulation patterns better, which is crucial for flood monitoring and forecasting the weather for agriculture. You can get a basic reading from a single event from a simple rain gauge, but if you want to record rainfall over time, you may prefer a tipping bucket system. For the ultimate solution, go for a digital rain gauge, which can automatically track rainfall levels and transmit the data to a digital display.

Thermometers

Measuring the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit, a thermometer can keep you apprised of how hot or cold it is outside. This can make it easier to get a sense of what outdoor activities you may have to take care of, whether that’s watering your garden, covering and protecting sensitive plants or moving patio furniture out of the sun. They come in three main types, including:

Analog: Filled with liquids that rise and fall as they heat or cool, these show you basic graduated measurements on a visible scale.
Digital: These thermometers use electronics to sense temp changes and show them on an LCD display.
Infrared: As they can detect infrared radiation, this kind can assess levels of heat and cold, also letting you review them without physically contacting air or another medium.

Weather Stations

A weather station combines several meteorological instruments into a comprehensive system, alerting you of a variety of outdoor conditions at once. Most incorporate rain gauges and thermometers, plus anemometers to give you wind speed and direction readings. There are even models that feature barometers to estimate air pressure, as well as ones that can measure humidity with hygrometers and warn you about solar radiation on high-UV days. Others can connect to the Internet, so you can get and share data online.
