Today when I looked out my front window, I thought it was snowing until I realized it was almost 80 degrees and yellow. Yes, it is that time of year again. The time when my driveway, car, toys, patio and everything else is covered in oak tree pollen. It is awful. We had plans outside today, but with my allergy-prone child we decided to stay inside. It would be so nice if I knew this in advance. It really wasn't this bad yesterday. I should have gotten this 7-day weather forecaster with pollen index. It displays current weather data and real-time forecasts anytime. It also includes pollen alerts, wind speed and direction, UV index, and storm warnings. What makes this weather forecaster even better is that the information is updated throughout the day via satellite digital radio signals. That means this innovative gadget does not require outdoor sensors, an Internet connection, or any subscription. I am always glad to get something that is ready-to-go out of the box. Priced less than $200.
