The Best Outdoor Thermometers of 2023

This AcuRite thermometer offers incredible usability with a very large and attractive color-coded screen. It comes with three sensors that track both temperature and humidity outdoors, and the display unit contains a sensor that monitors the room in which the unit sits. Each sensor needs to be set to either an A, B, or C channel to sync it with the display monitor.

We found that the channel button location, inside the battery compartment under the batteries, wasn't easy to find. The good news is that the accompanying instruction manual was very clear. Each sensor has a designated color-coded area on the screen, and there's a selection of 40 preset location names for each.

For each sensor, users can program audible and visual alerts if the humidity or the temperature drops out of the set range. This model is a true environmental station at-a-glance, offering barometric pressure readings, a weather forecast, time, and date. Its large display and multiple color-coded monitored areas makes it very easy to read from a distance, with four backlight brightness settings: high (the default), medium, low, and "auto dim." The monitor is AC-powered, but it also offers an optional battery backup. We also really like that the sensor has an opening at the top that makes it easy to hang right over a hook.
