Weather station for outdoors

I want to put a weather station out on my lanai by the hot tub. The lanai is a covered extended patio. Most of the ones I see are really for indoors..does anyone know of one rated for outdoors? It won't be exposed to rain. Just humidity and extreme temperatures in ne fl. I've had tvs out thee fine so I may be over thinking it. Thanks.

Are you asking about the sensing instruments or do you want an outdoor display unit?

Crashandburn - HERE you go! This monitor display is perfect for your use outdoors.

It provides indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity with a remote wireless range of 165'




I use a number of various Acu-Rite remote sensor devices and they are all do a wonderful job.

If you're curious about the temperature and humidity by your hot tub, go for it. Get something cheap like this because (IMO) it won't be more accurate than this for weather, anyway:



There is no way a weather station within a covered lanai and near a hot tub will give you real weather conditions more than a few feet away.

I'm on my second Acurite weather station.
It comes with a 1" pipe mount.
I've attached a short 1" piece of pipe which I have clamped to my 1-1/2" vent pipe on the lower roof.

This is the newer version of what I have. Works great. Looks complicated but is not.

I was looking at some cheap color ones off Amazon. I put a cheap digital alarm clock outside for the time and it couldn't handle being outside. I thought it would be nice to see the temperature, time and forecast while being out there.

Search for "outdoor clock with thermometer". All I saw were mechanical dial clocks & thermometers, no digital that I saw.
