Wireless Rain Gauge & Anemometer Pack

The Wireless Rain Gauge & Anemometer Pack combines two essential weather sensors into a single, cohesive unit for studying wind and rainfall patterns. Designed with the educator in mind, this robust system allows students to explore fundamental weather measurement techniques using proven œtipping bucket and œcup anemometer technologies. With both sensors connected to a tachometer switch, data can be collected and synchronised efficiently for a broad meteorological overview. This dual-sensor kit is ideal for environmental science, climate studies, and agricultural applications, encouraging students to think critically about the relationship between natural forces and ecological outcomes. It also integrates seamlessly with additional sensors-such as humidity and soil moisture-transforming it into a fully-fledged weather monitoring station. Bluetooth and USB connectivity enables flexible use with a wide range of devices, and EasySense software provides real-time data visualisation and remote logging. Whether tracking seasonal rainfall, investigating wind speed impacts, or modelling environmental protection strategies, this pack empowers students to engage with data-rich inquiry learning.
