GARDEN WEATHER CENTER Features Weather on a Pole A whole weather station, all hung on one 58" pole ready to be planted in your garden. It includes a 15" high thermometer with °F and °C marked in large numerals, a rain gauge that will measure up to 4" or 10 cm. of rainfall against an expanded scale, plus wind speed and direction indicators. We suggest you hit the latter (2) with a shot of WD-40 to loosen them up. You get no read out on the wind, but can make a subjective judgement from the speed with which the anemometer spins and the direction the arrow points. Sturdy black plastic, it will be a handsome and useful addition to your yard. (We got 0. 25" of rain last night!!)

GARDEN WEATHER CENTER customer reviews: The "little" weather station I purchased this garden weather center to help my step-son with a science project he chose. He had to take wind direction readings to see what direction the winds blows the most frequently in our area for the project. It's a nice little weather station for seeing the temperature and measuring rainfall with the gauge. I found though, the anemometer wasn't always accurate in the direction of the wind. It could be where I have the station positioned in front of our apartment. I don't feel this was totally a waste of money. I'm a big time weather buff. I can now measure the amount of rain that has fallen where I live. Even though I can't use it one aspect, I can certainly use it in another. Bad joke This thing is a piece of cheap plastic junk. I bought it mainly for the wind direction indicator, but it takes near gale-force winds to make it move at all, even with lubrication. I was going to say the thermometer is OK, but today I noticed that water has seeped inside and fogged it up. The rain gauge is OK, but that's worth a couple bucks. Took me a half hour to figure out how to fit the myriad plastic pieces together because there were no assembly instructions. Save your money.
