4 Amazing, Fun Weather Gadgets

We still aren’t able to control the weather yet, and that’s why measuring temperature and the conditions outside our homes are so important. Here’s a few quick, fun ways to do exactly that! In the world we live today, our computers, apps and smartphones do most of the tasks thermometers, clocks and other devices did in the past. Regardless, call us old fashioned, but we still have a soft spot for gadgets that only perform one task, and can do that with an extra, fun factor that can’t work with our phones’ menus. Either because they look nice, or because they are different in a really cool way, these are some of our favorite weather gadgets and other technology and things you can use to tell the weather so it doesn’t catch you by surprise!

One of the most fun ways to tell the weather is the use of weather sticks, natural wood creations that some tribes of Native Americans figured out before thermometers were even a thing. The idea is that the stick will respond to the weather and move up to indicate sunny or beautiful weather, but points down when weather such as rain snow sleet are present. This is neither technology nor witchcraft, but merely a fun way to get a quick glance at the world outside from just a stick you can hang.
