It does not register the wind correctly. Wind can be blowing fairly hard and it will have a very low number and we have it in a great spot for it to be able to read the wind. Any help you can give on this would be great otherwise I don't think it's a great product for wind and that's why I got it for my husband.

The forecast feature has displayed a chance of sun and/or clouds as well as chance of rain/snow for the last 30 days. Not useful. Also note that display model 06096 doesn't connect to the internet therefore the data collected is only displayed on the unit. I wish the description would have been more clear on the website.

This was a Christmas present for my husband. He hasn't had time to hook it all up yet but he's super antsy to get it going. His birthday is coming up in February and would like to get him the lightning indicator accessory. The Christmas tree ornament was such a nice touch and the fact that it moves made everyone happy. Thank you so much!
Easy to install and use Have it on top of old TV tower about 20' up, hopefully batteries last; might be difficult to replace them Would have liked direct wiring option
