Works very well, I use it to monitor the changing weather on a fire. Very easy to send all info to a Fire Behavior Analyst. You do not need to be in bluetooth range at all times. When you need a weather report you walk in range, connect and it will update all of the weather. You can send current conditions, the average conditons, or an excel database with all of the collected weather.

I received a Fire Pro 5500. I have set it up and enjoy checking the weather out it. It is a great unit for checking fire weather. I was wondering if the unit can get wet in a rain storm?

Extreme Meters LLC.

Your kestrel is waterproof (sealed to IP67 standards) and floats so you are free to use in a storm.
