We’ve noticed increasing interest from our readers in weather stations from La Crosse Technology and have occasionally had questions on various La Crosse weather station models. It’s not surprising: their stations are inexpensive and readily available, not only from Amazon but also from brick-and-mortar stores.
What is the best La Crosse weather station to buy? We’ve laid out our picks below. We’d love to hear your feedback in the comments if you own one! Let’s get started.

La Crosse 308-1414MB-INT Weather Station with Mold Indicator
If you have a mold problem, the La Crosse 308-1414MB-INT is a good choice. If you live in a damp home, you’re probably all too familiar with mold. It thrives in cool and humid environments, so it’s crucial to where mold is most likely to grow. The La Crosse 308-1414MB-INT monitors these conditions and will sound an alert if it believes there is a high risk of mold growth. Otherwise, the feature set is similar to the C85845-INT, our top pick. If you don’t have mold issues, that might be the better option (the good news is they’re often priced about the same on Amazon if you don’t know which one to choose!). - 2
La Crosse Technology V21-WTH Wireless Wi-Fi Weather Station
If you don’t need internet connectivity, the V21-WTH is a great alternative to more expensive stations. - 3
La Crosse Technology C85845-INT Weather Station
While we generally don’t recommend this brand as there are better options, one thing La Crosse Technology does well is indoor and outdoor thermometers. One of the best indoor-outdoor thermometers is the C85845-INT, which features an adjustable brightness color display and an attractive console that doesn’t take up much space and the temperature is readable from a considerable distance. In addition to indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, this large display indoor outdoor thermometer also measures the dewpoint and heat index, and “comfort levels” are shown below the humidity readings. While the C85845-INT does measure barometric pressure to provide a forecast, that information isn’t shown. The console runs off AC power, with 3 AA batteries as backup (the outdoor sensor also requires batteries).What we like
- Large, bright display
- Battery backup
Keep in mind
- Accuracy isn’t great without optional radiation shield for the outdoor sensor

La Crosse Technology V42-PRO-INT Professional Weather Center with Combo Sensor and Remote Monitoring
The La Crosse V42A-PRO-INT is a fully-featured weather station, unlike the C85845-INT. In addition to indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, the V42A-PRO-INT measures wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall. It’s expandable using other La Crosse sensors and can connect to Wi-Fi. It also has forecast icons that change with the seasons, which we’ve always found to be a cool feature of the company’s weather stations. We’d recommend the at this price if it’s cheaper. But occasionally, this model is on sale for a substantial discount, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. - 3
