Using & Installing the KestrelMet 6000 Cellular Weather Station at the Shooting Range Or Hunting Cabin

The KestrelMet 6000 Cellular Weather Station, the first cellular weather station from Kestrel Instruments, is simple to install at the range or your hunting cabin. As a robust weather tracking device with its own cellular network, it's all you need for reliable monitoring in remote locations.
Don't Let Weather Ruin Your Day at the Range
Whether you are heading out to the range for the day or to the hunting cabin for the weekend, inclement weather can set you back in terms of time and money. You can't simply rely on your phone's weather app, as many remote areas lack reliable cellular service or WiFi. In addition, the weather data that appears on most popular apps typically comes from a fixed weather station at an airport – which is usually miles away from your location. The apps may give a general sense of what's happening in the area but won't accurately reveal what the weather is like at the range or the hunting lodge.
By checking the weather ahead of time thanks to your KestrelMet 6000, you can know the actual conditions at your location and better prepare for the elements or reschedule a trip if weather is not favorable. Access live weather data online at KestrelMet.net where you're able to view all of the critical measurements from your KestrelMet 6000. From the convenience of your home, you can log in to the online dashboard from your laptop or phone to quickly and easily see up-to-date weather conditions wherever your KestrelMet is installed.
Why Consider the KestrelMet 6000 for Remote Locations?
Backcountry weather monitoring can feel like its own adventure. It can have its own climate and temperature variations that can affect your time spent in the great outdoors if you aren't prepared for them. The KestrelMet 6000 is an all-in-one monitoring solution ideally suited for remote locations. It's a rugged, dependable, solar-powered cellular weather station. No WIFI required for operation.
The weather at your remote destination can differ greatly from the weather where you live or work. For example, a hike in the Rocky Mountains can yield daytime highs that are 15 degrees cooler than what you'll find at the base of the mountain. You can also experience snow and rain in the mountains, including sudden and severe inclement conditions such as snowstorms.
This happens because the weather can widely vary even more dramatically across a 2-mile span in the mountains than over 20 miles of flat land. Weather apps do not account for geographical or other microclimate influences.
"What happens is that they have computer models spitting out these forecasts seven to 10 days in advance when [forecasts] actually change every six to 12 hours. So, sometimes, the weather systems they are predicting haven't even formed yet."
-- Logan Johnson, meteorologist
