There are a lot of weather stations on غ in the £40-£60 price range so picking one can be a b it bewildering. After spending some time reading all the descriptions and the reviews I went for this Youshiko YC9441. These weather stations all do pretty much the same thing. In the end the two things that swung it for me where the display and, more importantly, the fact the time is set up to run off a British signal rather than the German one. The latter seems quite common. Having he UK time signal means the clock sets itself and you don't have to adjust it when GMT becomes BST and vice versa.
Setting it up was a doddle. It comes with a power lead and three pin plug but I am using a USB to barrel connector so that it doesn't hog a socket in the kitchen. I put two AAA batteries in the outside sensor and put it under the eaves of the garden shed. The sensors is not waterproof, as it needs to register humidity, so it needs to be out of direct rain and sun.
After hat I just plugged in the weather station and left it. Within an hour it had picked up the time signal and the outside temperature was being displayed correctly. That as it. You really need to keep it plugged into the mains to get the best of it because, when running on batteries only, the display cuts out to save power. It has a nice clear display and I particularly like the graphic for moon phases.
The only downside in my view is hat it does not give sunrise and sunset times. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with it.
