A full backyard weather station that publishes online and talks to Alexa

A complete solar-powered weather station that measures wind, rain, UV and solar radiation as well as temperature, humidity and pressure — then uploads it over WiFi to the Ambient Weather Network so you can check home from anywhere and ask Alexa or Google for the reading.

For the weather enthusiast who wants a real observation station, live on the web and on their phone.

This is a proper observation station, not a room monitor: a solar-powered outdoor array measures wind speed and direction, rainfall, UV and solar radiation alongside temperature, humidity and pressure, feeding a full-colour console indoors. What lifts it above the rest of the range is the WiFi — it publishes your readings live to the free Ambient Weather Network, so you can check home from your phone anywhere and even ask Alexa or Google Home for the current conditions.

About this weather stations

Ambient Weather WS-2902 WiFi Smart Weather Station

The WS-2902 is the enthusiast's pick in this range because it measures the whole sky, not just the air in a room. Its solar-powered Osprey array combines an anemometer, wind vane, rain gauge, UV and solar-radiation sensors and a temperature/humidity module in one unit that mounts on a pole in the open. Everything reports to a full-colour console indoors that shows current, peak and average wind, rainfall totals, the UV index and a self-generated forecast — a genuine personal weather station rather than a thermometer with extras.

The standout is what happens next: the console joins your home WiFi and uploads every reading to the free Ambient Weather Network. From then on you can watch your own weather live on the web or the phone app wherever you are, share it with community maps, and connect it to Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT — so you can ask a speaker "what's the wind doing at home?" or trigger an alert when rain starts. The outdoor array runs on solar with AAA backup for the dark months, while the console stays on its mains adapter to keep the data flowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need WiFi and an account to use it?

The station works standalone on its console without any of that. But its headline feature — viewing your weather from your phone anywhere and connecting to Alexa or Google — needs your home WiFi and a free Ambient Weather Network account, which is quick to set up and costs nothing.

How is the outdoor sensor powered?

The all-in-one array is solar-powered, with three AAA cells as backup for long dark spells, so there's no mains cable to run outside. The indoor console uses the included AC adapter to stay online.

What does it measure that simpler stations don't?

As well as temperature, humidity and pressure, it reads wind speed and direction, rainfall, the UV index and solar radiation — the full set a weather hobbyist wants. That's why it's the most capable station in our range.

Where should I mount the array?

In the open, level, on a pole clear of buildings and trees, so wind and rain aren't sheltered or funnelled. Clear the rain collector of leaves each season and wipe the solar panel to keep readings accurate.

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

Ambient Weather WS-2902: your own weather station, online

4 min read Skygauge

The WS-2902 rewards a careful install; get the array sited and online and it becomes your own published weather station.

Mount the array in the open

Fix the sensor array level on a pole, clear of walls, fences and trees. Sheltered wind and funnelled rain are the two things that spoil the data, so height and openness matter more than convenience.

Get it on WiFi and the network

Join the console to your 2.4 GHz WiFi and register a free Ambient Weather Network account. That's what unlocks phone access from anywhere, community maps and the Alexa, Google and IFTTT links.

Keep the sensor fed and clear

The array is solar-powered, but fit the AAA backup cells for winter, and each season clear leaves from the rain funnel and wipe the solar panel so wind, rain and UV keep reading true.
