Where to buy a thermometer?

Rodar08

Where would I be able to buy a good thermometer? Or basic all round weather monitor thingy? I'm not like some of you brainiacs on here! I'm more on the dumbass end of the scale, I just have a casual interest in it so nothing too fancy shmancy. Anybody know? Thanks Oh and price??

Deep east told me to get this one and I went for it.
Working well so far.

I got one of these in Maplin last week.


Not bad for €7. I'm not too sure of its accuracy though...:o

bit more than a basic weather station, but it's not bad.

See post in the main weather thread for a few comments, I have modified mine a bit to make it easier to support, and more reliable.

Lidl have a weather station for €30

has an outdoor sensor and base unit

Not sure how good it is yet as I'm not allowed to play with it until Xmas day.

Yep sorry Aldi, bought mine about a week ago, but they may still have some left as they were in the plastic lockboxes that Aldi have and usually those things hang about for a couple of weeks.

dealextreme.com is great for stuff like this. I bought two of their digital thermos last year, that have an external probe, internal sensor, C/F, max/min. They seem to be well calibrated and the accuracy appears to be spot on.
Paid $16 and free P&P...might be waiting a while for delivery though.

I just bought this and an extra sensor, as a present for my dad, as a retired farmer he is always interested in weather and the current temperature so thought it would be a good one, I have one actually two of the clocks that I like so hopefully it will work well. I know this is cheaper and recommended but I think the orange colour ruins it so I passed on it. Hopefully I won't regret it!

With outdoor temperature sensors do you need to cover them in some way? I notice the Oregon site suggests mounting it in the eve of a house which will naturally throw off the reading with the heat stored in the brick. Was hoping to mount it on a garden fence post.

Sorry, things moved faster than I expected, it's a way back now.
