A scrolling weather ticker for your AcuRite 5-in-1 sensor

A bright colour console with a scrolling news-style ticker that reads out wind, rain and pressure from an AcuRite 5-in-1 sensor — the perfect second display, or a replacement, for an existing AcuRite Pro station.

For AcuRite owners who want the full picture in another room, spelled out in words as well as numbers.

This is a display, not a full kit: it's the colour console with AcuRite's scrolling ticker that pairs with the AcuRite Pro 5-in-1 sensor, so you can read wind, rain, temperature, humidity and pressure in a second room — or replace a tired old head unit. The stand-out is the news-style ticker that scrolls conditions and records in plain words along the bottom, backed by unusually deep rainfall history — today, per event, by month, by year and all-time.

About this weather stations

AcuRite 06016RM Colour Display with Weather Ticker

What sets this AcuRite apart is the ticker. Along the bottom of the bright colour screen, a news-style band scrolls the current conditions and records in plain English — so instead of decoding a wall of figures, you read "wind gusting 18 mph, 4 mm rain today, pressure falling" as it goes by. Above it, the illuminated colour panel shows wind speed and direction on a 16-point rose, indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, the barometric pressure and a 12-to-24-hour forecast, and it auto-dims as the room darkens so it never glares at night.

It's worth being clear about what this is: a display head that pairs with AcuRite's Pro 5-in-1 sensor over 433 MHz — ideal as a second console in the kitchen or office alongside a station in the study, or as a fresh replacement head for an ageing AcuRite setup. Rain fans are well served: it keeps totals for today, each rain event, this month, this year and all-time, and counts the days since it last rained. It runs from the mains with six AA cells as backup so a power cut won't wipe your history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an AcuRite sensor already, or is one included?

This listing includes a 5-in-1 sensor, and the display is also compatible with any existing AcuRite Pro 5-in-1 sensor you may already own. That makes it equally good as a complete setup, a second console in another room, or a replacement head for an older AcuRite station.

What is the weather ticker?

It's a scrolling band along the bottom of the screen that spells out conditions and records in plain words — wind, rainfall, pressure trend and more — like a rolling news ticker. It's the feature that makes this model quicker to read at a glance than a static grid of numbers.

How detailed are the rainfall figures?

Very. It records rain for today, for each individual rain event, and cumulatively by month, by year and all-time, and it also tracks how many days it's been since the last rain — useful for gardeners and allotment holders.

Will it keep its data during a power cut?

Yes, if you fit the six AA backup cells. It normally runs from the mains, but the batteries keep the clock, settings and records intact if the power drops.

How long does delivery take?

Your delivery estimate for your address is shown at checkout before you pay. Delivery is free UK-wide on orders over £30, with a flat £3.99 charge under that.

The complete guide

AcuRite 06016RM: the ticker that reads your weather aloud

3 min read Skygauge

This AcuRite is a display head for the 5-in-1 system, and it shines when it's paired and sited well.

Pair it with the 5-in-1 sensor

Power up the sensor near the display first so they link, then move the sensor to its outdoor spot. Once paired, the ticker and colour panel come alive with live wind, rain and pressure.

Read the ticker, not just the grid

Let the scrolling band do the work — it spells out conditions and records in plain English, which is faster than scanning figures. It's the reason to choose this console over a plain numeric head.

Keep the AA backup fitted

It runs from the mains, but six AA cells preserve your clock, settings and hard-won rainfall history through any power cut. Fit them once and forget them.
