Weather stations – keeping an eye on the climate, inside and out
In the age of the internet, it feels like every piece of information is just a click away, and that includes the weather. So, why should you bother buying your own weather station? After all, various online weather services and apps can tell you whether to take your umbrella or your new sunglasses today. The answer is simple: only your own weather station can give you accurate, real-time measurements of local meteorological conditions like temperature, air pressure, and wind speed. Online weather services cover a large area, often several square kilometres, so their forecasts are necessarily broad. Moreover, home weather stations also monitor indoor conditions. This is important because the climate affects us not just outside but also within our homes. However, weather stations vary widely in their features and capabilities. BRESSER offers a wide range of high-quality models to suit different needs. To help you find the perfect device, we’ve put together everything you need to know about digital weather stations right here.
What exactly are weather stations, and how do they work?
A weather station is a device that combines several sensors to measure different meteorological parameters. In wireless weather stations, the data is collected by one or more wireless sensors and sent to a base station. The base station stores the data, displays it, and can even calculate additional useful information, such as the perceived temperature. Often, the base station comes equipped with a thermo-hygrometer to monitor indoor temperature and humidity. Basic weather stations generally focus on measuring temperature through thermometers and humidity using hygrometers. For weather stations with forecasting features, air pressure measurement is also required, provided by an integrated barometer. More advanced models include rain gauges, anemometers, and sensors for UV levels and light intensity, offering a robust data set for both hobby meteorologists and professionals in fields like agriculture. These stations provide real value with multiple sensors and practical extras.
Which BRESSER weather station is right for you?
If you’re just looking to keep tabs on the indoor climate and the temperature on your terrace, you don’t need a weather station with all the bells and whistles like an anemometer and rain gauge. But if you’re a passionate hobby meteorologist, you’ll want to measure and analyse as many weather parameters as possible. So, before making a purchase, ask yourself: What do I really need from my new weather station? To make your decision easier, we’ll guide you through our wide range of high-quality weather stations.
In the Weather Stations with Thermometers / Hygrometers subcategory, you’ll find our entry-level models. These weather stations primarily measure temperature and humidity (both indoors and outdoors), and in most cases, air pressure as well. In addition to providing accurate readings, many models also offer a graphical weather forecast on the display—perfect for a quick check before heading out the door.
These wireless weather stations use an external wireless sensor to measure outdoor temperature and humidity, transmitting the data back to the base station. Some models even come with multiple external thermo-hygro sensors, allowing you to monitor the climate in different rooms around your home. You can also keep an eye on conditions in your greenhouse or wine cellar.
With BRESSER thermo-hygrometers and air quality meters from the Room climate and Air quality measuring devices categories, you can quickly freshen the air at home, in the office, or anywhere else. Our precise weather stations, which combine thermometers and hygrometers, provide real-time readings of temperature and humidity. After all, if the air stays too humid for too long, you might soon be dealing with an unwelcome guest: mould. On the other hand, overly dry air can lead to headaches, fatigue, or nosebleeds. To help you maintain a healthy balance, these weather stations come with a handy indoor climate indicator. Just look at the smiley face or traffic light to see if it’s time to air out the room or if a dehumidifier is needed.
As for what’s floating around in the air, our air quality meters will let you know. Whether it’s fine dust, CO2, or other pollutants like nitrogen dioxide or ozone, these devices give you the current readings at a glance. For a quick overview, just check the AQI scale (Air Quality Index), the smiley face, or the traffic light.
With BRESSER accessories, you can enhance your weather station. Living in a multi-family house and want to share your passion for weather with a neighbour? Why not let them join in with an additional base station? Or treat yourself to an extra base station in the bedroom alongside the shared one in the living room, ensuring a perfect start to the day. Additional sensors can also add real value. After all, many weather stations can handle more sensors than those included. So why not get an extra thermo-hygro sensor for your damp basement or busy kitchen? Pool, soil, and air quality sensors, as well as water detectors, round out our selection.
NOTE: When choosing accessories, always ensure they’re compatible with your existing BRESSER weather station. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our service team.
If you’re looking for a deeper understanding of local weather patterns, check out our professional weather stations. These advanced models come with a multi-sensor unit that can include up to 7 individual sensors, depending on the model. These sensors measure:
- Outdoor temperature
- Outdoor humidity
- Air pressure
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Precipitation
- UV level
- Light intensity
- Wet bulb globe temperature
Indoor temperature, humidity, and air pressure are measured at the base station, just like with the basic BRESSER weather stations.
Your garden gets watered whenever it needs it. The dehumidifier kicks in when there’s a risk of mould. And the heating keeps your home cosy on cold winter days. All of this can happen automatically with BRESSER weather stations from the Smart home weather stations category. In the era of the Internet of Things, advanced systems like those by Tuya, the market leader, make it easy to connect various elements in your home.
The foundation of your smart home setup is always the local data from your weather station. But it doesn’t just communicate with your smart home devices like irrigation timers, lights, switches, or heating systems. You can also check the latest weather updates on your smartphone or tablet at any time using the app.
From children’s rooms to bathrooms, wine cellars to greenhouses, temperature and humidity impact every living space. With the specialised devices in the Thermometers / Hygrometers category, you’ll always be in the know. Need to monitor several rooms at once? Choose one of our practical sets, which include a clear base station and multiple wireless sensors, or pick your favourite from the thermometers / hygrometers multi-packs. From air to water temperature: a pool thermometer will quickly tell you if the water is warm enough for a swim. And with compatible BRESSER weather stations, the water temperature can also be displayed on the base station.
Great features for better weather insights
When selecting your weather station, consider the number of sensors and the extra features that make it a useful tool in your daily life. For example, the perceived temperature feature can reliably tell you if you really need that jumper, as it takes into account not just the actual temperature but also the wind and humidity. Here’s an overview of the key features available in the weather stations we offer:

Location checklist: where’s the best place for a weather station?
Finally, let’s talk about where to position your new weather station including an outdoor sensor. There are a few things to consider to avoid connection issues or inaccurate readings. Make sure you keep the following points in mind when choosing a location:Consider the sensor’s range
Avoid obstacles between the base station and the outdoor sensor
Place it in a shaded area, never in direct sunlight
Mount it about 2 metres above the ground
Avoid heat sources, doors, windows, and uninsulated walls
Ideally, place it on a grassy surface
Not too draughty, but not completely sheltered from the wind either
