What Customers say…• “We chose a Davis weather station because not only was the price great,

but the accuracy was unbeaten by any of the other major competitors.”• John Van Pelt, Storm Chaser

• “We bought a Davis weather station to inform us of 30 mph wind bursts, so now we have an alarm that tells us when wind speeds get up to that point.”

• Walter Dunckle, Paramount’s Great America

• “We originally purchased the Davis weather station for real-time weather on hazardous materials calls, but then we found we could also use it on wild land fires throughout the season. If we know the wind speed, we can better predict what fires will do.”

• Mark Mehring, City of Tracy Fire Departmentc
