How to choose a portable small weather station?
1. Application
First of all: you should have a clear understanding of what you intend to use the portable weather station for. This will help you find a weather station that is suitable for you to measure the weather conditions that affect your activities. For example, if you are a hunter or long range shooter, you will want to make sure you buy a unit that tracks wind speed and direction. Just make sure that the weather station you buy is reliable for your specific weather measurement needs.
 
2. Accuracy
Once you have identified a weather station that provides you with the type of weather data you need, your next step is to look at the accuracy and reliability of the data it provides. A unit that continually updates its weather data is preferable to a unit that needs to update its readings forever.
 
3. Durability
Another important thing to note is the durability of the weather station. The most durable models are designed with a durable plastic housing. Some rooms also come with rubber covers to cushion damage and breakage in case of accidental drops.
