Portable Weather Stations

Guide to Buying a Professional Weather Station

Portable Weather Stations, popular with HazMat teams and environmental researchers alike, offer a rapid-deployment option for short-term on-site weather monitoring. US DHS SAVER report commended for detailed user manual "easy to use and provided clear instructions" and the Weather Display Console "offering many easy-to-use display options."

All portable weather station systems include:

– Rugged, roller carrying case
– Battery power system with charger and backup
