Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Meter

Modestly referred to as a “wind meter,� the Kestrel 4000 Pocket Wind Meter is capable of measuring every major environmental condition you can find, all in a handheld device. We’re not just talking about temperature and humidity, here: it also measures wind chill, barometric pressure, heat stress index, dew point, and more. The device stores up to 2000 different measurements, tacking the date and time of storage, with a graph that brings information together for analyzing trends on the go. You’d have to be a pretty serious armchair meteorologist to get a lot of use out of this, but we can see it being a pretty fun gadget to play around with if you’re dealing with any real weather (the kind that never shows up in LA). | Gadgets on the Go via MobileWhack |
