camping hiking, outdoor sportRight now I'm halfway through reading the book, A Perfect Storm, and I think that I want to arm myself with a digital thermometer so I know the weather conditions all the time. We do a lot of camping and it would be good to know what the weather conditions are so we could make better decisions about how long a bike ride to take or how many miles to hike. We love outdoor sports and most of the time the weather is pretty easy to predict, but during the summer when we do a lot of camping hiking, thunderstorms develop almost every day and while they are hit and miss, I think that more information is better.

I found the Acu-Rite Wireless Weather Station and Atomic Clock with Sensor online today and thought it would be really useful for letting us know what the weather conditions are when we're camping hiking in the woods. This unit uses the atomic clock and radio signals to connect with the weather service, and will tell us what the time is, the temperature, humidity, air pressure, and whether it's falling, rising, or staying the same. That's the most important factor in knowing if the clouds passing by are harbingers of storms to come, and it will help us decide if we should head out on a long hike or stay put.

The one thing I'm learning from A Perfect Storm is how important it is to keep an eye on the barometric pressure to stay on top of the weather. We watched the movie and it was so good I decided to read the book, and there is so much information in it about the weather, so when we were talking about going camping hiking in June and July over dinner last night, I decided that I'd look for a good weather forecasting product to take along with us.

I found this at All Star Sports Outlet located at http://www.allstarsportsoutlet.com, a website with a lot of products for camping hiking, outdoor sports, and more. Since this weather station is battery operated and uses a radio signal, I know it will work even in the most remote spots where we go camping hiking. We spend a lot of time in the mountains of Arizona in the summer and when the monsoon starts, the weather can be unpredictable, especially in the mid to late afternoons. It will be good to know what's coming across the ridge that we can't see because of all the trees.

We can also use this at home. It has a remote sending unit so we can have the main unit in the house and put the other one out on the patio so we know just how hot it is outdoors and how much more comfortable the indoor temperatures are. So not only is this weather forecast center a great thing for camping hiking, it's also going to be really handy to know what's going on with the weather when we're at home, too.
