Outdoor Thermometers

Weather Thermometers

Weather thermometers, also known as outdoor thermometers, can be surprisingly useful for homeowners, gardeners and anyone looking to know a little more about their local environment. Many people rely on internet searches and weather apps for forecasts, but they're more generalized, covering a larger area than your home, and they can be inaccurate in areas with microclimates. At Walmart.com, you'll find an assortment of wired and wireless weather thermometers to get accurate readouts on temperature, humidity, wind speed, forecasts and more.

If you're a gardening enthusiast, look for a weather thermometer with a humidity monitor or a hygrometer. Hygrometers measure the level of water vapor in the atmosphere, in soil or in confined spaces. They're useful for maintaining ideal conditions for more sensitive plants like orchids. Homeowners will appreciate weather stations, which provide a variety of readings from your backyard, including temperature, wind speed, historical records and a calendar with weather alerts.

Indoor/Outdoor Thermometers

Indoor/outdoor thermometers indicate the temperature inside your home, and the temperature around where you place the second, outdoor component. Many modern indoor/outdoor sets include a wireless outdoor component, so you don't have to run a potentially dangerous and cumbersome line. These sets are indispensable for running your home air-conditioning and heating system efficiently. Wondering when to open your windows? Just look at the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor thermometers and adjust your windows and screen doors accordingly. Indoor/outdoor thermometers can help prevent unnecessary heating and cooling, saving you money on your electric bills.
