Abstract
In one embodiment, a weather sensing station includes one or more remote wireless sense units for sensing environmental conditions. A base station processes wireless signals from the wireless sense units and indicates the environmental conditions. A running display string may be used to display the data on a display string of the base station. Wireless sense units may include an air quality sense unit and, for example, a UV sensor. Air quality information and UV energy information may then be determined and displayed as data or indicated through graphical symbols.
