Weather Station Gift Ideas
Home weather stations are great gifts for someone who likes the weather. Your loved one can take daily observations and watch weather trends in their backyard. In our opinion, there are three great options to pick from here, with our personal favorite being the Ambient Weather WS-2902C. Here are our current picks.

- Wind speed and direction

Compared to other home weather stations, the AcuRite Atlas provides easier access to weather information and monitoring from multiple devices simultaneously using My AcuRite software. The HD display is easy to read and shows weather information such as heat index, dew point, and even feels like temperature in real time.
The Acurite Iris Professional Weather Station can measure:
- Indoor and outdoor temperature
- Humidity
- Wind speed and direction
- UV and light intensity
- Barometric pressure
- Rainfall

With almost zero maintenance, the Tempest Weather System is easy to install and operate, giving accurate local weather readings. This weather station is likely to go on sale and makes an excellent gift for weather enthusiasts who might find lightning detection a must-have.
The Tempest Weather System can measure:
- UV and solar radiation
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Barometric pressure
- Wind speed and direction
- Lightning strikes
- Rainfall through an innovative haptic rain gauge
Handheld Weather Station Gift Ideas
A handheld weather station is a must-have if they already have a home weather station. They range from simple to complex, but these three options are our favorites right now, and we know the weather geek in your life will love getting one as a gift this holiday. Unfortunately, sales are very rare on Kestrels, but we will highlight the best deals in our Gift Guide if we catch them!

Weather Book Gift Ideas
Not everybody needs a home weather station. If they love to read, we’ve spotted a few good books on Amazon that we think are great gift options. (And while you’re at it, a Kindle Unlimited membership is an equally good choice).

Weather Radio/Emergency Radio Gift Ideas
A weather or emergency radio is one of the best gifts we can think of for weather lovers. The National Weather Service broadcasts weather information 24/7 on specialized frequencies, which you can use a weather radio or emergency radio to tune into.
Emergency radios take it to the next level, able to power themselves through a hand crank or solar panel — perfect for when the power goes out.

Lightning Detector Gift Ideas
Lightning detectors aren’t the most incredible weather-related gifts, but we’d argue it’s probably the one gift on this list that might save your life. Often lightning strikes well ahead of a thunderstorm, and in some situations, you might not even know a thunderstorm is on its way. Buying a lightning detector keeps the weather nerds you care about safe and sound, especially if they’re storm chasing.

Alert HD uses vibrate and audible warning alerts to alert you to nearby strikes, even if you can’t see them.
