The best Hama weather stations, compared.
Top pick: Hama Sylt Best value: Hama Bahamas – Lowest shelf price in this comparison, about £15.21, with the outdoor sensor named in the box and a DCF clock you can switch off. Five reviews stay a limit, not a best-in-set claim. Updated October 2026.
Each set is a battery indoor base, usually with one wireless outdoor sensor, showing time, temperature and, on most models, humidity and a weather symbol. A local icon is a short trend from the set's own readings, not a Met Office download. Only claims a multi-day packet, and that packet has been off air since 30. The clock follows, not the UK broadcast, so UK time needs an offset of -1 that is still correct the next morning. Listed accuracy is about ±1 °C, or ±2 °C on. The short decision is in [which Hama set to buy](/hub/climate-measuring/hama-weather-station/sub/hama-weather-station-best). A Hama weather station on these amazon.co.uk listings is a battery indoor base.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What do you need on the screen?
The Hama Sylt is a wide black station at about £35.65. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from one review, and that review has no text, so the score cannot carry a best claim. The listing describes seven forecast symbols: sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, heavy rain, snowfall and heavy snowfall, plus a temperature and humidity trend. The DCF signal can be switched off and the time zone can be set. Connectivity is listed as 433 MHz and 868 MHz. Four AA batteries are included, and an outdoor sensor is named. The title includes an alarm clock, but a separate alarm specification is not in the bullets. The listing quotes ±1 °C. You are paying for the seven-symbol set and the dual radio line, not for a proven review pattern. The listing score is 100 because of that single 5.0. It stays off the top pick for that reason.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the seven-symbol icon set and a DCF clock you can switch off, and you will ignore a one-review score.
Less suitable: You are choosing from star ratings, or you need pressure, a mould alert, or hundreds of reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Sylt have an alarm?
The product title includes an alarm clock. A separate alarm specification is not in the bullets.
Can the DCF signal be switched off?
Yes. The listing says the DCF radio signal can be switched off, and that the time zone can be set manually.
What forecast symbols does it list?
Seven: sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, heavy rain, snowfall and heavy snowfall, plus a temperature and humidity trend.
The Hama EWS Intro is a compact black and silver station at about £18.40, rated 4.3 from 265 amazon.co.uk reviews. Included components are one weather station, one sensor, four AA batteries and a manual, which is the clearest sensor-in-the-box line among the sets under £20. It lists a DCF clock and two alarm times, and the time zone can be set. UK review evidence in this category says you confirm the zone with CLOCK. The listing quotes ±1 °C. A forecast symbol is not in the bullets. Humidity and snooze are asked in the listing questions and are not confirmed in the feature bullets. It is the top pick in this comparison when the sensor must be itemised, and it is the wrong set if you are paying for a weather icon. The listing score is 86. That is a listing judgement, not a laboratory test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a basic indoor and outdoor reading with the sensor named in the box and a large, calm review count.
Less suitable: You want a weather icon, a barometer, or a humidity figure the bullets actually confirm.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the EWS Intro battery powered?
Yes. It needs 4 AA batteries, and the listing says they are included.
Does the box include a sensor?
Yes. Included components are one weather station, one sensor, four AA batteries and a manual.
Does the listing confirm a snooze or a humidity reading?
Both are asked in the listing questions. Neither is confirmed in the feature bullets. Two alarm times are listed.
The Hama EWS-200 is a black battery station at about £25.13, rated 4.1 from 90 amazon.co.uk reviews. The listing describes a blue backlit LC display and battery status for the station and the outdoor sensor, and it says you can connect up to three external sensors. Temperature is listed indoors and outdoors, in Celsius or Fahrenheit, with a forecast of sunny, cloudy and rainy. A separate humidity sentence is not in the short bullets. An alarm is asked in the listing questions and is not confirmed in the feature bullets. Four AAA batteries are required and included. The description names an outdoor radio sensor, while the short box bullets stress the station, the cells and a manual. It suits a dim room if you want the backlight more than a barometer. The listing score is 82.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a mid-price Hama set with a blue backlight and a simple sunny, cloudy or rainy icon.
Less suitable: You need a confirmed humidity number, a radio clock, or a pressure reading.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the EWS-200 show humidity?
The two-piece description is a base plus an outdoor radio sensor and says you can connect up to three external sensors. A separate humidity sentence is not in the short bullets. Temperature is listed indoors and outdoors, in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Is there a backlight?
Yes. The listing describes a blue backlit LC display and battery status for the station and the outdoor sensor.
Is an alarm listed?
An alarm is asked in the listing questions and is not confirmed in the feature bullets.
The Hama Bahamas is the cheapest set in this comparison, at about £15.21, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.1 from only five reviews. The included-components line lists an outdoor sensor, the main unit, a manual, two AA cells and three AAA cells, so the probe is itemised rather than merely implied. The DCF radio clock can be switched off, and the time zone can be set if German time does not match yours. Indoor climate is shown with three comfort faces as well as indoor and outdoor humidity. The listing quotes ±1 °C. Five reviews cannot carry a best-in-set claim, and a smiling face uses Hama's wider comfort band rather than a 40 to 60 percent humidity target. At about £15.21 it is the lowest price here with the sensor named in the box, so it is the best value.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest Hama set here with a sensor named in the box and a DCF clock you can switch off.
Less suitable: You want a large review sample, a barometer, or a humidity target you can trust from a face alone.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Bahamas include an outdoor sensor?
Yes. The included-components line lists an outdoor sensor, the main unit, a manual, 2 AA batteries and 3 AAA batteries.
Can the DCF signal be turned off?
Yes. The listing says the DCF radio signal can be switched off, and that the time zone can be set if DCF time differs from your zone.
How is the indoor climate shown?
A comfort indicator uses three faces: neutral, laughing and sad. Indoor and outdoor humidity are both listed. Hama's comfort band is wider than 40 to 60 percent.
The Hama Action is about £17.54 and the largest review sample in this comparison, at 4.0 from 815 amazon.co.uk reviews. The listing says it shows indoor and outdoor humidity, temperature, time, date and a four-symbol forecast, with three touch sensors, and that three wireless outdoor sensors can be connected. Five AAA batteries are required and included. The included-components line names only an instruction manual, so a sensor in the parcel is not itemised the way it is on the EWS Intro. The listing quotes ±1 °C. Reviews in this category describe the outdoor link dropping in light frost or after months. Buy it when you accept that box-line gap and you want the review volume. Do not treat up to three as three probes in the carton. The listing score is 80.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the most-reviewed basic Hama set here and you accept that the box line does not itemise the sensor.
Less suitable: You need the probe named in the included-components line, a DCF clock, or a pressure reading.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Action show indoor humidity?
Yes. The listing says it displays indoor and outdoor humidity, plus temperature, time, date and a four-symbol forecast.
Can more than one outdoor sensor be connected?
Yes. The bullets say three wireless outdoor sensors can be connected. The included-components line does not say how many sensors are in the box.
Is it battery powered?
Yes. The listing says 5 AAA batteries are required and included.
The Hama Black Line Plus is the dearest set here, at about £44.00, rated 3.9 from 307 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say the display shows temperature, humidity, air pressure, moon phase, time and date, with seven forecast icons on a 12 to 24 hour horizon, a DCF clock, a mould warning and a frost alarm below +1 °C. The outdoor sensor is listed at up to 50 m, and two further sensors can be connected. Box contents include a power supply and two AA batteries. The attribute line also says three AAA batteries, and the plug type is not stated as BS 1363. Two UK reviews say the time-zone offset does not hold. The 50 m figure is an open-air claim. Hama support says about 10 m once walls intervene. It is the fullest listing if you will use pressure and you will check UK time the next morning. The listing score is 78. A mould icon is not a damp survey.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want pressure, a mould alert and a large review sample, and you will re-check UK time after each DCF search.
Less suitable: You need unattended UK time, a known BS 1363 plug, or a forecast that is more than a 12 to 24 hour icon.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Black Line Plus show indoor humidity?
Yes. The bullets say the display shows temperature, humidity, air pressure, moon phase, time and date. A mould icon on that display is not a damp survey.
What is the outdoor sensor range?
The listing says up to 50 m, and that two further outdoor sensors can be connected. Hama support says plan for about 10 m once walls intervene. The 50 m line is an open-air claim.
Does the box include a power supply?
Yes. Box contents list a power supply as well as 2 AA batteries. The attribute line also says 3 AAA batteries. The plug type is not stated as BS 1363.
The Hama Zakynthos is a white tabletop thermometer and hygrometer at about £17.45, rated 3.9 from 24 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say it shows indoor and outdoor humidity and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, with a four-symbol forecast, and that up to three wireless outdoor sensors can be connected. The title implies an outdoor sensor. The listing does not say three sensors are in the box, and it does not print a radio range. The attribute line says no batteries are required, while reviews on the same listing say batteries were included. That conflict is unresolved. One reviewer failed to pair at about five metres, and another found the outdoor digits hard to see. It is a low-price humidity set if you can live with a thin sample and an unclear power line. The listing score is 78.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap four-symbol station that states indoor and outdoor humidity and spare sensor channels.
Less suitable: You need a listed range, an agreed battery specification, or a sensor count you can prove from the box line.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Zakynthos show humidity?
Yes. The bullets say it displays indoor and outdoor humidity, and indoor and outdoor temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
How many outdoor sensors can it use?
The listing says up to three wireless outdoor sensors can be connected. It does not say three sensors are in the box.
Are batteries required?
The attribute line says no batteries are required. Reviews on the same listing say batteries were included. The listing does not resolve that conflict.
The Hama Ko Samui is about £37.47, rated 3.8 from seven amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets confirm indoor and outdoor humidity, a barometer, a temperature trend and a five-symbol forecast. The frost alarm is activated between -1 °C and +1 °C. Five AAA batteries are required and included. An outdoor probe is named, while the included-components line lists only an instruction manual. Indoor temperature is asked in the listing questions and is not written out as its own sentence, though a temperature trend is. The listing quotes ±1 °C. Seven reviews are too few to treat 3.8 as a settled score. It is the pressure set to look at if you want a frost band around freezing and you do not need the Black Line Plus mould warning. The listing score is 76.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a barometer and a frost alarm around freezing, and you can accept a seven-review sample.
Less suitable: You need a large review count, a sensor itemised in the box line, or a multi-day broadcast forecast.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Ko Samui show indoor temperature?
Indoor temperature is asked in the listing questions. The bullets confirm indoor and outdoor humidity, a barometer, and a temperature trend. A separate indoor-temperature sentence is not written out.
When does the frost alarm trigger?
The listing says the frost alarm is activated at temperatures between -1 °C and +1 °C.
Is it battery powered?
Yes. Five AAA batteries are required and included.
The Hama Touch is a black touch station at about £23.64, rated 3.6 from 55 amazon.co.uk reviews. The box contents name a Touch station with a DCF radio clock, an outdoor sensor, three AAA batteries, two AA batteries and a manual. The bullets say the sensor can sit up to 30 m, can stand or be wall-mounted, and that two further outdoor sensors can be connected. A forecast horizon of 12 to 24 hours is listed, and touch sensors turn on a night light for 20 seconds. The listing quotes ±1 °C. One UK review shows LL where outdoor humidity should be. That review does not define the letters. The 30 m line is an open-air claim. Hama support says to plan for about 10 m once walls intervene. The star line is lower than the EWS Intro's, on a smaller sample. The listing score is 72.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a DCF set with a stated 30 m sensor, a short night light, and spare channels.
Less suitable: You need the strongest review score under £20, or a range you can trust through several walls.
Specifications
Common questions
How far can the Touch outdoor sensor sit?
The bullets say up to 30 m. The sensor can stand or be wall-mounted, and two further outdoor sensors can be connected. That 30 m line is an open-air claim. Hama support says about 10 m once walls intervene.
Does it have a radio clock?
Yes. The box contents name a Touch station with a DCF radio clock for automatic time setting. You still confirm the UK offset the next morning.
How does the night light work?
Touch sensors turn on a light that illuminates the display for 20 seconds.
The Hama Full Touch is a black touch-screen station at about £38.46, rated 3.5 from ten amazon.co.uk reviews. The box lists a manual, the weather station and a sensor, and three AAA batteries are included. The bullets describe a DCF radio clock and a five-symbol forecast. The item highlight says indoor and outdoor temperature, a hygrometer and a barometric display, and an alarm can be set at a maximum or minimum temperature. The connectivity attribute says Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while the bullets do not mention Wi-Fi. Both lines are on the listing, so neither is dropped. Temperature accuracy appears as 1 °C and also as ±0.5 °C. The upper temperature line says 85 °C. Ten reviews and an unresolved connection conflict keep it off a top-pick sentence. The listing score is 70.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a touch-screen Hama set with a sensor in the box and you will check the connection lines yourself.
Less suitable: You need one agreed connection type, a large review sample, or a clock story that does not conflict.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Full Touch show indoor and outdoor temperature?
The listing questions and the item highlight say indoor and outdoor temperature, with a hygrometer and a barometric display.
Does it have an alarm?
Yes. An alarm is listed, including an alarm at a temperature you set as a maximum or minimum.
Is the connection Wi-Fi?
The connectivity attribute says Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The bullets describe a DCF radio clock and do not mention Wi-Fi. Both lines are on the listing.
The Hama Meteotime, model 186369, is about £27.07 and rated 2.9 from 475 amazon.co.uk reviews. It is the only set in this comparison that claims a multi-day forecast packet on DCF77, with rain probability, wind speed, wind direction, a frost alarm and an alarm clock, plus indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. An outdoor sensor and four AA batteries are in the box. The listing quotes ±2 °C, which is looser than the ±1 °C line on most of the other sets. Hama's support note says the forecast disruption has run since 30 June 2026: multi-day forecast, wind or stale data can be missing, while time, date and local sensors can continue. The 30 July 2026 operator notice still left the repair open. Those stars are not a simple verdict on the plastic. Buy it for the packet only after you have checked that the service is transmitting. The listing score is 58.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know the Meteotime packet is transmitting and you want wind and rain probability on the device.
Less suitable: You need a forecast on the screen today, while the outage notice is still unresolved.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Meteotime show wind direction?
The bullets say it displays rain probability, wind speed and wind direction, with a frost alarm and an alarm clock. That packet has been disrupted since 30 June 2026.
Does it show humidity?
Yes. Indoor and outdoor temperature and indoor and outdoor humidity are listed, with data storage. The listing quotes ±2 °C.
Is it battery powered?
Yes. Four AA batteries are required and included. A mains lead is not listed.
Eleven Hama weather-station listings on amazon.co.uk were kept for this page from a wider look at the brand. Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the listing lines. There was no laboratory test. The score on each card is the listing score already prepared for this comparison, on a 0–100 scale, shown here divided by 10. The Hama Sylt scores 100 from 5.0 and one review. The listing notes say that sample cannot carry a best claim, so the top pick is the next score, the EWS Intro at 86. The best value is the lowest shelf price that still names the outdoor sensor in the box. The weights below sum to 100 and follow that buying order.
Outdoor sensor and range
30%A sensor named in the included-components line scores higher than a title that only implies one. A printed 30 m or 50 m range is kept as an open-air claim. Hama support's about 10 m through walls is the planning figure, not a house-wide guarantee.
Forecast you can use
25%A local icon, a barometer and the Meteotime packet are different products. A multi-day claim scores only while the packet is transmitting. The outage since 30 June 2026 is a service fact, not a verdict on the plastic.
UK time from DCF77
20%These sets follow German legal time on DCF77, not the UK MSF broadcast. A settable zone, and a DCF signal you can switch off, matter more than the words radio-controlled. The offset still has to be right the next morning.
Humidity number and power
15%A humidity figure in the bullets outranks a comfort face. The Centre for Sustainable Energy cites 40 to 60 percent. AA or AAA cells should be agreed on the listing. A mains lead with no stated BS 1363 plug is not treated as a UK plug.
amazon.co.uk review evidence
10%Stars and review counts come from the amazon.co.uk listing. A one-review 5.0 cannot carry a best claim. A large sample still does not override a missing sensor line or a forecast packet that is off air.
Separate these eleven Hama sets by the forecast you will actually use, then by whether the outdoor sensor is named in the box. A local icon, a barometer and a Meteotime packet are three different purchases. The clock is German DCF77 time with a UK offset, not the MSF broadcast.
A Hama weather station on these amazon.co.uk listings is a battery indoor base. Most sets include one wireless outdoor sensor. The screen shows time and temperature. Most also show humidity and a weather symbol. They are not all the same forecast. Local icon sets, the Action, Bahamas, Zakynthos, Touch, EWS Intro and EWS-200, measure temperature and humidity and draw a symbol. That symbol is a short trend from the set's own readings, not a Met Office download. Pressure sets add a barometer.
A local weather symbol is a short trend from the set's own readings, not a Met Office download. Give the sensor time to settle, and do not treat the first icon as a forecast you can plan a day around.
Hama presets the zone to Germany. The manuals' logic for the UK is an offset of -1 against DCF77. Confirm GMT or BST the next morning. Two UK reviews of the Black Line Plus say the offset did not hold.
The multi-day packet has been disrupted since 30 June 2026, and the 30 July 2026 operator notice still left the repair open. Time, date and the local sensor can continue. That outage is not the same fact as a sensor that never pairs.
Start with the included-components line, not the title. The Hama EWS Intro names one weather station, one sensor, four AA batteries and a manual. The Bahamas names the outdoor sensor, the main unit and the cells. The Touch names the outdoor sensor and quotes up to 30 m. Black Line Plus names the sensor, a power supply and two AA batteries, and quotes up to 50 m. The Action and Ko Samui say a sensor can be connected, while the included-components line lists only a manual.
Decide which forecast you are paying for. A local icon on the Action, Bahamas, Zakynthos, Touch, EWS Intro or EWS-200 is a short trend from that set's own readings. It is not a Met Office download. Symbol counts differ. The Action and Zakynthos list four symbols. Ko Samui and Full Touch list five. The Sylt and Black Line Plus list seven, and the Sylt includes snow. The EWS Intro does not put a forecast symbol in the bullets. Ko Samui and Black Line Plus add air pressure.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want the time and the outdoor temperature before you leave the house. The Hama EWS Intro names one sensor, the station, four AA batteries and a manual, with a DCF clock and two alarm times. You still confirm the UK offset the next morning.
You want indoor and outdoor humidity as a number, not a survey. The Hama Action lists both, plus a four-symbol forecast, at about £17.54, with 4.0 from 815 reviews. The included-components line does not itemise the sensor.
You want air pressure as well as a forecast icon, and you can pay toward £44. The Hama Black Line Plus lists pressure, seven icons, a mould warning and a frost alarm, with 3.9 from 307 reviews. The mould icon is not a diagnosis, and two UK reviews say the time-zone offset did not hold.
The Hama EWS Intro is the top pick. Its listing score is 86, the highest in this set once the Sylt's one-review 5.0 is set aside, at about £18.40 with 4.3 from 265 amazon.co.uk reviews. The box line names the station, one sensor, four AA batteries and a manual. It has a DCF clock and two alarm times. A forecast symbol is not in the bullets. The Hama Bahamas is the best value at about £15.21, the lowest price here, with the outdoor sensor, the main unit and the cells itemised, and a DCF clock you can switch off. It is 4.1 from only five reviews, so that sample cannot carry a best-in-set claim. None of this is a laboratory test.
Hama Bahamas
Lowest shelf price in this comparison, about £15.21, with the outdoor sensor named in the box and a DCF clock you can switch off. Five reviews stay a limit, not a best-in-set claim.
