Best Hama weather station

Updated: October 2026

A best Hama weather station only means something once you name the job. On amazon.co.uk, on 19 October 2026, the Hama sets in this comparison run from about £15 to £44, and the longest feature list is not the calmest review pattern. This page names a set for a basic indoor and outdoor reading, and a fuller set for pressure and a mould alert, and it says who should skip each one. There is no laboratory test behind the picks. The method is the listings in the [Hama weather station comparison](/hub/climate-measuring/hama-weather-station): prices, star lines, what the box lists, and the UK comments already in this category.

Best value for a basic reading

The pick for a basic reading, when the sensor must be named in the parcel, is the Hama EWS Intro. It is £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. It lists a DCF clock and two alarm times, and the time zone can be set. A forecast symbol is not in the bullets. Humidity and snooze are asked on the listing and are not confirmed in the feature lines. The Hama Action is £17.54, rated 4.0 from 815 reviews, the largest sample here, with indoor and outdoor humidity and a four-symbol forecast. The included-components line names only an instruction manual, so it is not the pick when the probe must be itemised. The Bahamas, at £15.21, does itemise a sensor, but 4.1 from five reviews is too thin to outrank 265 reviews at a similar price.

When the fuller set is the one to buy

The pick for air pressure and a mould prompt is the Hama Black Line Plus at £44.00, rated 3.9 from 307 reviews. The display lists temperature, humidity, air pressure, moon phase, time and date, with seven forecast icons on a 12 to 24 hour horizon, a frost alarm below +1 °C and a mould warning. The outdoor sensor is claimed at up to 50 m. The box lists a power supply and an outdoor sensor. That 50 m line is an open-air claim. Hama's support article says to plan for about 10 m once walls intervene. The mould icon is a prompt, not a survey. Two UK reviews say the time-zone offset does not hold. Skip this set if you need UK civil time without a morning check. The offset is on the set-up page. The Ko Samui, at £37.47, lists a barometer, but it has 3.8 from seven reviews.

Do not treat Meteotime's stars as the brand

The Hama Meteotime, model 186369, is £27.07 and rated 2.9 from 475 reviews. That sample does not belong on the Action or the EWS Intro. This is the only set here that claims a multi-day forecast packet, rain probability and wind on DCF77. The listing quotes ±2 °C. Hama says the forecast disruption has run since 30 June 2026. Time, date and the local sensors can keep working. The 30 July 2026 notice still left the repair open. Do not buy Meteotime today if you need a forecast on the device while that notice is unresolved. A local icon still comes from the set's own sensors. Leave a set you already own switched on. The packet and the TEST button are on the Meteotime page.

Scores that cannot carry a pick

A perfect score from an empty review is not a winner. The Sylt is £35.65 and shows 5.0 from one review, with no review text. Seven forecast symbols and a DCF signal you can switch off are listing claims. They do not become a top pick because one person clicked five stars and wrote nothing. The Bahamas, at 4.1 from five reviews, has the same limit: the sensor is itemised, and the sample is too small to outrank the EWS Intro. The Full Touch, at £38.46, is 3.5 from ten reviews, and the bullets say DCF while the connectivity attribute says Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Common questions

Which Hama set has the strongest review pattern for a simple indoor and outdoor reading?
The EWS Intro, at 4.3 from 265 reviews and £18.40, with one sensor named in the box. The Action has more reviews, 4.0 from 815 at £17.54, but the box line does not itemise a sensor. Choose the EWS Intro when the probe must be listed. Neither pick is a laboratory ranking.
Is the cheapest set the best value?
The Bahamas is the cheapest, at £15.21, with a sensor and 4.1 from five reviews. Best value here means a basic reading with a sensor in the box and a large review count, which is the EWS Intro. Five reviews cannot outrank 265 at a difference of about £3.
Is Black Line Plus the top pick because it has more functions?
It is the top pick only for pressure, a seven-icon local forecast and a mould warning, backed by 3.9 from 307 reviews. It is the wrong top pick if you need the clock to hold UK time on its own. Two UK reviews say the offset does not stick.
Why is Meteotime at 2.9 stars if the brand is the same?
The 2.9 from 475 reviews sits on the forecast packet. Hama says that packet has been disrupted since 30 June 2026, and that time and the local sensors can continue. Do not average that score into one Hama rating, and do not treat the outage as proof that the plastic is faulty.
Does best mean a lab test?
No. These sentences use amazon.co.uk listings on 19 October 2026: the box, the star line, and the job. A mould icon is not a damp diagnosis, and a weather icon is not the Met Office. UK time is an offset of -1 that has to survive the next search.
