Weather station with wind and rain

Updated: October 2026

A cloud icon on a £20 console is a pressure trend at the house. It does not say that 8 mm fell on the vegetable bed. A weather station with wind and rain, in this comparison, is one of six amazon.co.uk listings that name both sensors. The other five are forecast consoles, and they are the wrong box. The Products Compared editorial team read those listings and the captured review notes. We did not rank accuracy in a lab. Prices are the shelf figures, in GBP. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The table is on the [weather station comparison](/hub/climate-measuring/weather-station).

The console’s cloud is not a rain gauge

The Raddy WF-50V at £19.99, the Warmiehomy at £21.99, the HAOYAO V8 at £24.99, the LIORQUE BJ8281 at £31.44, and the U UNNI UK0512 at £32.99 show temperature, humidity, a clock, and forecast icons. None of the five names a rain gauge or an anemometer. The LIORQUE, the UNNI, and the HAOYAO can take up to three outdoor sensors, and one is in the box. A second thermo-hygrometer is still not a rain cup. That kitchen screen is the right buy for a clock. It is the wrong buy if you came to log the shower. The weather station or thermometer page is that console branch.

Two £99.99 arrays and no named Wi-Fi upload

The AIR6 and the SQECH SWS-01 are both £99.99, and neither names an upload. The AIR6 highlight says no Wi-Fi. It names wind, rain, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The package bullet lists a pole, a bracket, and a power adapter. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 50 reviews. The outdoor megahertz is not stated, and the clock line does not name MSF. The SQECH SWS-01 names a rain gauge, a wind vane, and an anemometer, and shows 4.2 from 77 reviews. UK reviewers say the screen washes out in daylight. There is no megahertz figure and no app. If an app is the point, leave both of these.

Wi-Fi arrays, UV, and the 915 MHz check

Three further listings name rain and wind and also name a network. They do not name the same band. The Ecowitt WS2910 is £134.99, with 4.5 from 844 reviews. Both frequency lines say 868 MHz, and the sensor adds light and UV. Wi-Fi goes to Ecowitt, Weather Underground, and Weather Cloud. Reviewers say the pole is not in the box. Ofcom’s IR 2030 is the UK short-range reference, and 868 MHz is the band this row prints. The WS-2902 is £159.99, with 4.4 from 12,377 reviews, and it names UV and solar radiation. Its 2.4 GHz line is Wi-Fi. Do not call it 868 MHz. The WS-1965 is £119.99 and prints 915 MHz. Siting is on how to set up a weather station.

The hybrid is a weather array plus indoor air

The Temtop W100 is £189.24. The bullets name outdoor rain, wind, and UV, plus indoor PM2.5, CO2, TVOC, and AQI, with a Temtop app on 2.4 GHz. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from 2 reviews. Two reviews are not a pattern against 844 or 12,377 reviews elsewhere. Buy it when indoor air and outdoor rain are both the job. Leave it when you only wanted a rain gauge. An upload does not make the garden an official Met Office station. The Weather Observations Website is due to close in 2026.

Common questions

Which of these stations measure rainfall and wind?
Six listings name both: AIR6 and SQECH SWS-01 at £99.99, Ambient WS-1965 at £119.99, Ecowitt WS2910 at £134.99, Ambient WS-2902 at £159.99, and Temtop W100 at £189.24. The five consoles from £19.99 to £32.99 do not. Their cloud icon is a pressure trend, not a rainfall total.
How do the £99.99 sets differ from the Wi-Fi arrays?
AIR6 and SQECH keep a local screen. AIR6 says no Wi-Fi and names a pole. SQECH names a rod and no app. Ecowitt, WS-2902, and WS-1965 add a network, and they differ on radio and UV. You still site the array in the open. A phone log is not a more accurate cup.
Which arrays name UV, and does the Ecowitt include a pole?
Ecowitt names light and UV. WS-2902 names UV and solar radiation. Temtop names UV and sunlight plus indoor air. AIR6, SQECH, and WS-1965 do not name UV. The Ecowitt pole is not in the box. AIR6’s package line does name one, which is the difference at £99.99 if you do not need Wi-Fi.
Is the WS-1965 the same radio as the Ecowitt?
No. Ecowitt prints 868 MHz. WS-1965 prints 915 MHz. WS-2902 does not print an outdoor megahertz. Its 2.4 GHz line is Wi-Fi. Do not buy the cheaper Ambient as if it were the same band. Cups under the eaves read that corner, not the open garden, and you should not scale them up to 10 metres.
Will an upload make this a Met Office site?
No. Ambient Weather Network, Ecowitt, Weather Underground, and Weather Cloud are not the Met Office observing network. The Weather Observations Website is due to close in 2026. The gauge can still be worth having for the garden. It does not become an official climate station because the console found the Wi-Fi.
