Who Needs a Handheld Wind Anemometer?

La Crosse Technology offers a variety of electronic weather devices including a handheld wind anemometer to measure wind speeds. We provide cutting-edge technology to give you the most reliable devices on the market. Some professional careers and amateur adventurers benefit from understanding weather conditions including the wind speeds.

Sailboats require wind for transportation so having a handheld wind anemometer on board gives sailors a reliable source of information to make the most efficient use of the wind. Surfers and windsurfers rely on the wind because it creates the waves - wind also affects the flights of paragliders, drones, and kites. People who do long range shooting such as in archery and hunting need to know wind speeds and directions for accuracy.

Professionals such as HVAC technicians and home inspectors can use an anemometer to measure the flow rate of air through ducts and measure ventilation. Firefighters who predict fire paths, scientists who need to record data or wildlife managers who need to stay downwind of herds can use a one as well.

People who live in secluded rural environments may not have access to up to date information and need to become their own weather forecasters. An anemometer detects changing conditions and can warn of advancing unfavourable weather. For example, a change in prevailing winds is a clue that a storm is coming.
