What is Weather?
We live and breathe in a blanket of air known as the atmosphere. The atmosphere is constantly moving and changing all around the earth. These changes are called the weather.
No matter if it is rainy, snowy, stormy, or warm and sunny, weather affects everyone all the time! That is why the science of weather, or meteorology, is so important!
Scientists called meteorologists study patterns in the weather and try to forecast, or predict, what it is going to be like in the future. As we gain more understanding about weather and with advances in technology, these predictions have  become more accurate.
When we talk about the weather, we are actually describing the conditions in the atmosphere and the air around us at a particular moment. If you look outside now you might see that the weather is cloudy or sunny, or that it is wet or  windy.
Weather is made up of different things, such as:
– Wind direction
– Wind force
– Precipitation (rain, snow)
– Temperature
– Sunshine
– Cloud
This weather station provides the necessary instruments for you to record these weather elements and make your own weather forecast.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the packaging materials properly, according to their type (paper, cardboard, etc). Contact your local waste disposal service or environmental authority for information on the proper disposal.
Do not dispose of electronic devices in the household garbage! As per the Directive 2012/19/EC of the European Parliament on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its adaptation into German law, used electronic devices must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
Empty old batteries must be disposed of at battery collection points by the consumer. You can find out more information about the disposal of devices or batteries produced after 01.06.2006 from your local waste disposal service or environmental authority.
In accordance with the regulations concerning batteries and rechargeable batteries, disposing of them in the normal household waste is explicitly forbidden. Please pay attention to dispose of your used batteries as required by law – at a local collection point or in the retail market (a disposal in domestic waste violates the Battery Directive).
