Weather reports from far away stations may not represent what’s happening in your area or at your exact location. Many factors affect weather conditions including geography, proximity to bodies of water, surrounding forests and other natural land features, artificial developments and buildings, and more. Temperatures, rainfall, and wind speeds can be much different from location to location. Consider installing a home weather station so that all of these discrepancies are factored into calculations for accurate forecasting and predictions on when to bundle up or stay inside based off conditions like wind chill factor, wind gusts, or heat and humidity levels.
