Had an older weather station than only displayed temperature (outside and inside) and if it was raining or not. This one is supposed to show how much rain accumulates and wind direction/speed along with barometric pressure, and a couple of other useful features. It is raining hard as I speak and it is displaying zero for rainfall and zero for windspeed (it is a blowing rain). If it all worked, I would give it five stars. It was a breeze to put together and install onto the roof of my BBQ Cabana. So nice that the batteries are only for backup. Solar power does the heavy lifting. The display itself is clear and easy to read from a distance, which is very nice considering how much it is displaying.
