Ambient Weather AR-816 Handheld Wind Meter with Temperature

• The AR-816 is a portable device suitable for mobile users who need access to current wind speed data. This includes recreational sports users, such as para-gliders, and emergency service users such as fire-fighters. Wind speed can be displayed in miles per hour, knots (nautical miles per hour), kilometers per second and meters per second.
