Imagine being able to measure temperature, humidity, and air pressure all at a glance! This World Education Day, we’re learning why combined weather dials are the perfect all-rounder for monitoring and managing a healthy indoor or outdoor space.
Combined weather dials include multiple parameter tracking all in one weather instrument. At ClimeMET our weather dial includes thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer scales to provide an all-round weather monitoring experience in one stylish dial face.
• Hyper-local data: a home weather dial allows you to ensure that the data you're looking at is real-time, and unique to your exact location. Local weather data on the internet can often end up being not so 'local' after all, leaving you looking out the window wondering why the conditions you've read about online don't match what you can see in your own garden. Your weather dial gives you temperature readings, humidity levels and current air pressure at a glance.
• Maintaining a minimalist look: a combined weather dial is ideal for outdoor spaces with limited wall space - even flat or apartment balconies. Instead of cluttering up your wall with several separate weather monitoring tools, by choosing the combined weather dial option you're still able to access the same weather knowledge without taking up too much precious space. This also helps achieve a much cleaner, simpler, more minimalist feel for your garden.
• Weather-resistant monitoring: our combined weather dials are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use; therefore, you won’t have to worry about keeping this weather instrument indoors. Our top tip is to remember that like most outdoor equipment, these instruments are weatherproof and not waterproof, so pop under shelter where possible. Other dials in our range such as time clocks, tide clocks and moon clocks which require batteries are best kept indoors, and engraved items from our range are always recommended for indoor use only.
• Information at your finger-tips: keeping track of temperature, humidity, and air pressure readings can help gardeners understand and monitor the optimal conditions for their plants or crops. Many of our customers pop a combined weather dial in their greenhouse to ensure they're maintaining the ideal conditions.
• Cultivate healthy living conditions: keeping an eye on temperature and humidity levels indoors can assist in maintaining optimal indoor environmental conditions for health, allowing you to adjust your heating, air conditioning and air flow to prevent the chance of mould and mildew.
• Go screen-free: a manual weather instrument allows you to keep off your devices if you're trying to reduce your screen time, and ensures you still have weather data without relying on batteries or Wi-Fi. An affordable and convenient choice for home and garden monitoring, especially in remote outdoor locations where connectivity is limited.
Our combined weather dial is an elegant yet functional weather monitoring instrument, easy to mount, and would suit any wall from your kitchen to your allotment shed. Our dials include an engraving option, for those looking for the perfect gift for their fellow weather enthusiast, however, engraved dials are suitable only for indoor use.
• What are combined weather dials?
• Combined weather dials are instruments that display multiple weather readings spanning more than one parameter, most commonly temperature, humidity, and air pressure, on a single device. These are usually delivered via analog scales, such as a barometer, a hygrometer, and a thermometer, included in one dial.
• How do combined weather dials work?
These instruments use different sensors and mechanisms:
• Thermometers measure current air temperature.
• Hygrometers detect humidity levels by measuring changes in material properties such as a spring.
• Barometers measure current air pressure.
• Each mechanism is connected to a needle to display the correct reading on the dial face.
• What can I use a combined weather dial for?
• Tracking local weather conditions for outdoor planning.
• Monitoring indoor environments, such as greenhouses or wine cellars, where temperature and humidity levels are critical.
• Predicting weather changes by observing pressure trends (e.g. falling pressure often indicates deteriorating weather conditions).
• Where should I place a combined weather dial?
To ensure accurate readings:
• Place it indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts.
• Avoid areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, or on the wall above a kettle.
• What factors can affect the accuracy of the readings?
• Exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources can affect temperature readings.
• Placement in overly dry or wet areas may affect hygrometer accuracy.
• Barometric readings may be inaccurate if the device is not properly calibrated to your elevation so be sure to follow the included instructions.
