Different types of weather gauges let you monitor the conditions inside your home, allowing you to make climate adjustments to individual rooms or little-used spaces like the attic. Outdoor applications include early frost warnings that can impact your gardening, travel, or weatherproofing schedules. Traditional tube thermometers are durable and provide accurate readings. They no longer contain mercury for safety reasons but operate the same way: as the temperature increases, the liquid at the bottom expands and rises upward. This technology is often used in outdoor thermometers and wall thermometers. A Galileo thermometer is decorative but functional, with inner glass balls inside rising or falling to correspond with temperature changes. Digital thermometers are increasingly popular for indoor use and can deliver extremely precise temperature readings. Wireless thermometers offer easy mobility and can include both indoor and outdoor temperature sensors.
A hygrometer is also a useful weather gauge, allowing you to monitor and adjust the humidity in your home through dry winter air and hot, humid summers. A barometer measures changes in atmospheric pressure which can alert you to impending thunderstorms. All-in-one home weather stations are also available. These can provide comprehensive data on the elements around your home including temperature, humidity and barometric pressure plus factors like rainfall, wind speed and wind.
