How durable is this thing (i.e. in rough weather)?
Actually, scratch that. If the weather is bad enough that this thing is going to get destroyed I’d better be smart enough to have already left or die of stupidity.
Weather channel would give a more average reading over the area. In cases like wondering if it’s cool enough to open the windows to save money on AC, it’s very useful to have around. (However, a slightly less functional model than this might be better.)
One of them hooks up to your TV or PC, and the other has a physical display, like a big clock, that gives you all that data.
So the Monitor one is more like a traditional weather station, while the TV/PC one does the same weather tracking, but uses your computer or TV to display the data.
