Davis Instruments creates several invaluable items for travelers on the go- specifically, those of you who enjoy hitting the open road, camping, and boating. Weather instruments not only make a trip more convenient by letting you know if you need a coat or rain gear, but they can make a trip safer by warning about thunderstorms or deadly winds. Davis makes some great items that can be used by anyone going on a road trip and this article will give the head's up on a few of them.

Wireless Weather Station- This is the most important weather accessory for the open road traveler. Davis' weather stations are portable (no cables), high range, and easy to use. There are varying degrees of weather stations, some for the beginner and some for more advances travelers. They measure things such as barometric pressure, wind, and basic temperatures. Wireless weather stations also give forecasts and can warn you in the case of impending storms or other dangerous weather. These run from a few hundred dollars up to $500. While the Davis brand might be towards the upper end of that range, it is because they are quality instruments that last a long time and have a lot of interesting features.

Anemometers – Anemometers measure wind speed and these are great devices for people who are planning on driving, boating, or camping. Beginners will probably want to buy a standard unit or a hot wire anemometer, while those who are more experienced with the device can try an ultrasonic anemometer. The Davis ultrasonic anemometer measures wind chill and temperature as well. Be sure to look for one that does not require an installation- a portable one is what a traveler will need. These run, on average, anywhere from $100 to $300, depending again on the features of the instrument.

No matter the specific weather instrument you are in the market for; remember that you do have choices when you need to know the weather. Choose what is the most comfortable for you so that you know what is going on with the weather all of the time.
