Oregon Scientific WMS802 WeatherNow II with MSN Direct ServiceHarnessing the power of MSN Direct Weather Service, the WeatherNow II from Oregon Scientific offers weather information and forecasts without the need for remote outdoor sensors, elaborate setup, or a computer connection. Plug in the device, and WeatherNow II automatically receives an FM radio signal from MSN Direct and begins displaying time/date and current local outdoor conditions. It also has readouts for the current day\'s forecast, high and low temps, chance of precipitation, and weather predictions for the next three days. It is the perfect devise for anyone interested in a home weather station but not the complications of involved programming or setup.
To help with real-world planning and preparations, the WeatherNow II\'s LCD screen also shows a "feels like" temperature, which factors in wind chill and the heat index, for a more accurate description of actual outdoor conditions. The display automatically toggles back and forth between the "feels like" reading and a UV-index display, providing the day\'s UV conditions from low to extremely high. Four-day forecast conditions are shown in 12 different graphic icons, indicating clear, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, snow, thunder, dust, fog, haze, smoke, windy, or frigid. In addition, trend arrows show whether temperature and humidity are rising, falling, or holding steady.
Alongside its detailed weather information, WeatherNow II also includes clock and calendar readings, as well as sunset time, indoor temp, and signal reception. Other features include an alarm with snooze and a backlight for viewing in the dark. The unit comes with an AC adapter, but can also run off four AA batteries, not included, as a backup power source in the event of an electrical outage. Oregon Scientific\'s contract with MSN Direct runs through December 2011.
