I'd like to get a weather station at home, anyone on here a guru on the topic ?
I'd like something wireless that will send the stats back to the Apple Mac and be solar powered/charged.
Thanks!

afe66: I've got a Davis vantage pro 2 which I bought 2007 for about 1800.
mclean: Maybe not too relevant to the OP's requirements, but we've run a weather station for many years which uploads current wind info to the Kapiti Boating Club website. We initially used Davis units but they lasted about 2 years before they tore themselves to pieces. So I would say they're not really suitable for truly coastal sites if you want no-bother reliability. We eventually picked up an RM Young unit on Trade Me - these are a whole different thing altogether.
afe66: Which model ?What gusts were you recording ? I was getting regular 50 kph gusts for the first 4 years.
I would have taken it back under CGA. The Davis stations are used on ski fields.
