Abstract
A weather station apparatus for measuring and indicating weather information, having a base station and a remote indicator. The base station includes a microprocessor (MCU) for evaluating weather information relating to an atmospheric parameter. At least one sensor is associated with the MCU for sensing the atmospheric parameter for subsequent processing by the MCU. An RF transmitter is included for transmitting a wireless signal representing the weather information evaluated by the MCU. The indicator includes an RF receiver for receiving the wireless signal from the transmitter, a control circuit for processing the wireless signal, and a color-changing light source controlled by the control unit to indicate the weather information represented by the wireless signal in a color that is dependent upon the value of the weather information.
