The weather seems to periodically get pretty crazy and the last few years certainly have been erratic. Wouldn’t it be nice to know the weather in advance? There is a new breed of weather forecasting device that makes a great gadget gift or would look good hanging on your own wall.

Brookstone offers a 5 Day Weather Forecaster that lets you see what the weather for the next few days is going to be like. This device does not require any computer, wiring, subscription or Internet access to work. This wireless weather station keeps you up to date with real-time reports received via radio signals from AccuWeather.com®.

This innovative home weather station automatically recognizes your geographical location. You do not need to configure anything. All the information is received via a radio signal which feeds tells these wireless home weather stations everything they need to know.

The forecast for each day displays the daily temperature forecast (high and low) and icons indicate the general conditions. The forecast information looks pretty much the same as you can find on many weather sites on the web.

The weather forecaster runs on AAA batteries and can be hung almost anywhere. One feature that we found interesting is the magnetic backing that allows you to mount it on the front of your refrigerator.

This is a great gadget gift for mom or dad, or for yourself.
