Solar powered Vantage Pro2, for those who’ve lost faith in their weather-reporters

So, you’ve completely lost faith in your weatherman after having walked on a predicted sunny day that turned into a cyclone of sorts. Well, you can now keep tabs on the weather yourself, without having to depend on the clairvoyance of your local weather reporter. This one’s sure to burn a hole in your pocket, with a price tag of $595. Called the Vantage Pro2, the device logs on to services like Weather Underground, and collects data from the internet wirelessly. The developers of the device currently are tracking 13,400 sites in the United States and almost 20,000 worldwide, enough to get accurate weather reports in the US for now.

Probably turning this one into an inexpensive way to keep tabs on the weather could help a lot more, given that the price seems to be the biggest turn-off here.
