I have 3 " cheapie " humidity meters, which none ever tell the same amount of humidity and none ever the same as the weather underground site. Not
willing to lay out a small fortune for one of those fancy jobs, is there anyone who knows of a fairly reliable one, preferably digital, for a
reasonable price

A person with one watch knows the time, a person with two is never certain..........I guess that could apply to humidity meters..............Throw two
away!!!
Check online at Oregon Scientific. they have a whole range of digital weather stations, thermometers and humidity meters.Bruce R Leech - 8-14-2007 at 02:09 PM
in this case the best instrument is also the cheapest
you will need a thermometer and a peace of gauss and a string. then use the site below.
Sounds like BAD Luck. I've got Four different CHEAP Hygrometers in Baja, either stand-alone or as part of a Thermometer combo and all four usually
read within a couple of points of each other.vacaenbaja - 8-14-2007 at 09:24 PM
Try the Extech brand they have some pen sized units and larger ones.Pescador - 8-15-2007 at 06:02 AM
We picked up a home weather station from E-bay and it is pretty close all the time. It was made by LaCrosseRuss - 8-15-2007 at 06:52 AM
Here's one $25

Only yesterday unfounded suspicions brought me to take the house meter out to MH to compare it with two there. It finally settled in to match those,
both of different manufacture, within 3 percentage points. That one bought from Walmart for about 3 dollars.Russ - 8-15-2007 at 11:00 AM
Thanks Wayne. I googled it and then took a photo of the desk top. Lost the site but it was $25. Now can't find it for under $35.Cypress - 8-15-2007 at 12:50 PM
If my clothes stays wet from sweat, the humidity is high, if they dry out, the humidity is low.Russ - 8-15-2007 at 07:50 PM
Just curious, what decisions are made/influenced by knowing the humidity?Russ - 8-16-2007 at 06:06 AM
Just one more tidbit of info to ponder on. I know 85% + is drip your a$$ off.oldhippie - 8-16-2007 at 08:23 AM

How much Pacifico to consume to compensate for sweat loss????wilderone - 8-16-2007 at 09:48 AM
I saw a couple in the Campmor catalogue on sale - called weather stations, which include humidity reading. I think they're about $29.
You would need to know the humidity to figure out how much potable water your atmospheric water generator would yield that day.oldhippie - 8-16-2007 at 11:50 AM

Well then an absolute humidity measuring device would be better than a relative humidity device like those pictured here.
Nonetheless, the Loreto Bay residents will snatch them up if you make them in the authentic Spanish colonial style and they meet the allowable color
regulations in the CC&Rs.
Watch I bet the next brochures will have them included in the more expensive models.
