A forecast with humidity tendency predicts weather ahead for safer and sunnier outings, garden work, and home improvement projects.

One nice atomic clock5
I've been looking for an atomic clock with functions and design. I finally found it with the 8249. The large display is very nice. All info are logically located on the display. One quick glance, and I know the time, indoor/outdoor temp, humidity, day, date, and month. The clock update itself about 2 to 3 times a day. I can't really ask for more than this, especially the price on Amazon was really good.

Ugly but it works4
We bought this for an intelligent 95 year old woman who wanted lots of information at her finger tips. She knows immediately the date, time, day of the week and weather prediction. It is very ugly but does the job perfectly!!!

Would have given it 5 stars but..4
It's not as attractive as I'd like a clock to be! It's not ugly, I guess, it's just not a very blendable piece. It's definitely not something you would use for decor! That being said, it works wonderfully. We've had it for quite a few months now and have not had a single problem with it. We have another one (different brand, not the same clock) that no longer works with the outside monitor. I'm hoping this one does better. You do have to be careful where you mount the outside monitor. If you put it in certain areas (like next to metal, or in direct sunlight), it will register as much hotter than it really is. Our house has vinyl siding, and even that puts off enough heat to affect the reading significantly. Also, be warned that this is a rather large clock. You definitely won't have any trouble reading it. Even the information below the time is very easily seen! I really love that this one displays the indoor humidity in addition to the temperature.
