Just be aware, the bigger the group, the more weather opinions you'll have to deal with!

AcuRite handheld weather sensors are perfect for on-the-go weather information for any hiking trip. You may get out of cell range, which means your usual weather apps won't work, but with portable weather devices, you'll always be able to monitor the specific conditions you are experiencing. Not the conditions from the offical weather station at the nearest aiport (if your weather app loads). Get real-time weather alerts for increased safety with AcuRite portable devices.

AcuRite portable, handheld weather sensors are extremely easy to setup: simply install batteries and power on! You're then ready to go with current weather readings and can set up your weather alerts.

AcuRite portable, handheld weather sensors are as reliable as you use them. If you always have them out and exposed to the elements, then you'll get weather updates in real time. If you have them stuffed away in your pack, then you'll always know the conditions of the bottom of your backpack. Learn more about what weather patterns to watch for when you're on the trail.

Stationary weather stations from AcuRite are very easy to set up and install. Generally, you need to think about setting the weather station away from any obstacles or obstructions that would affect the wind measurements or rainfall data. The obvious examples are: don't set the rain gauge under a tree and don't install the anemometer right next to a building, fence, or wall. You have to consider temperature too, a weather station mounted over a blacktop will measure warmer temperatures than if it was placed over grass or natural surface. So wide-open spaces over natural surfaces are ideal locations for weather stations, however, we understand that ideal placement is not always an option, so just identify the best location you can! See the article here for specific guidelines on weather station installation.

No, you cannot access your AcuRite weather data from your personal weather station if you do not have cell reception. The data is available through the My AcuRite app or website, so you'll either need a cell or internet connection. This is why it is ideal to bring portable, handheld weather sensors with you on your outdoor adventures, because you simply hold up the weather sensor and read the current conditions on the display! It's that easy!

AcuRite monitors a wide range of weather elements.
