I received the AcuRite Weather Station with Rain Gauge and Lightning Detector to facilitate this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
Summer is here and along with it, comes a variety of weather. As a farming family, watching that weather and tracking rain is extremely important. No rain = no crops. No crops = no feed for our cattle. So here in central Minnesota, being right in the middle of farm country, weather is a BIG topic of conversation for many. And let’s just be real for a minute, even if you’re not that big into weather, it’s always a safe topic to chat about with practically anyone!
AcuRite Weather Tracking Devices
But for those of you who definitely enjoy seeing how much rain you’ve gotten, AcuRite has the perfect weather station option for you. As a matter of fact, I actually got my grandparents this awesome Rain Gauge and Temperature Set a couple years ago for Christmas and they still love it! If you’re looking for something a bit more intricate, they also offer a variety of Home Weather Stations. But today, I’m sharing with you our brand new Weather Station.

I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

We live in farm country here in the south so this would be a popular item here too. It has so many handy features.
Wow, I did not know that these gadgets existed. I’d love to get one for the lightening. Thanks for posting!
