The first thing you want to know in the morning, when you wake up, is the time, right? Ok, maybe you know it’s always 7:30, because your alarm clock is set for years to open your eyes at this early hour. Or at least it should be, when accidents don’t happen! But, besides the time, another thing you want to know before leaving for work might be the weather, because this gives you a clue about how to dress for the day.
The Oregon Scientific Alarm Clock with Weather Forecaster gives you all the information you need in a form factor that looks like a swanky instrument panel on your nightstand. Therefore, the device gives you not only atomic-linked time with a few milliseconds, but also the weather forecast for the day, showing you the current inside temperature.
Oregon Scientific BA200A Atomic Clock with Weather Forecaster features a sleek tabletop design and an always-on backlight function that will allow you to view the clear LCD display during lowlight conditions. The time automatically synchronizes with the US Atomic Clock and displays in large digits along with the month, date and weekday. The alarm includes a 5 minute snooze function.
You can know the weather in the next 12 to 24 hours with 5 different animated icons: Sunny, Partially Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy and Stormy. The barometric pressure reading offers a 12-hour historical bar chart display and pressure trend icons. As far as the indoor temperature, it can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
The BA200A includes 3 AAA batteries and a 4.5 volt power adapter and is backed by a one year manufacturer warranty. If you’re interested in such a device, you can go to Oregon Scientific website and grab if for $69.95. Or, why not, if the design isn't to your liking, wander around the website for a huge variety of weather devices and alarm clocks, many of them more elaborate than this one.
