This video revisits the WS-5000 weather station, once our top pick in 2021. Despite its initial surge in price, we explore a new way to get it for $350 by trading the console for a Wi-Fi-enabled Weather Hub. We compare it to alternatives like the WS-2000, Tempest, and Ecowitt Wittboy. The video highlights the WS-5000’s accurate sensors, including the preferred sonic anemometers and tipping bucket rain gauge, making it a competitive choice in 2025. Check out our detailed review in the description, and let us know your thoughts on the importance of having a console.
