La Crosse Technology Digital Hygrometers

Temperature and humidity are the two most basic of weather variables and all of us are interested in what they are right now and what they will be in the future. Hygrometers measure the amount of moisture (or water vapor) in the air, commonly referred to as humidity. By knowing the percentage of humidity in the air along with the current temperature, dew point temperature and heat index can be calculated. These factors can be important to those who work and play outside. They are also important to farmers and other agricultural concerns with regard to stress in livestock or plants, or in properly irrigating crops. WeatherShack offers a large selection of digital hygrometers for precisely measuring humidity. These instruments utilize a sensor whose electrical resistance is affected by moisture, thus providing a digital readout of the measurement. Many of our digital hygrometers offer a memory for high and low readings.
