Ambient Umbrella

Ambient Forecasting UmbrellaWe’ve made note of the those nicely designed gadgets from Ambient Devices in the past. Now, Ambient has on offer the Forecasting Umbrella that incorporates a weather forecast data-radio in the handle.

If the probability of rain is 100% the light in the handle of the umbrella will flash 100 times per minute. A 60% chance of rain translates to 60 pulses per minute.

The data is sourced from AccuWeather.com and is delivered over pager networks.

Do you have to count the pulses yourself? That sounds like a lot of work.

I never even look for my umbrella unless I’ve heard it’s going to rain, so I don’t think I’d get much use out of this product.
