NEW ADDITIONS TO THE KESTREL® POCKET WEATHER™ METER LINE MAKE IT EVEN EASIER TO TAKE ENVIRONMENTAL READINGS ANYWHERE

BOOTHWYN, PA… For thousands of people who work or play outdoors, having accurate and reliable weather information is not a luxury - it’s a necessity.  Being able to get this information in one hand-held instrument makes life that much simpler. NK, manufacturers of Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters, introduces two new models to its line of hand-held weather instruments. The Kestrel 2500 ($199) and Kestrel 3500 ($249) are available for the fall of 2004. (www.nkhome.com ).

Both Kestrels measure wind speed, temperature, wind chill, altitude and barometric pressure. They also have a pressure trend indicator that allows users to anticipate weather changes. The 3500 also measures relative humidity, heat stress index, dewpoint and wet bulb temperature. The 3500 also has a state-of-the-art humidity sensor that allows it to take readings up to five times faster than other hand-held humidity instruments, even in abrupt and drastic environment changes.

Anyone who loves to be involved in outdoor activities will find these units to be a must have gadget. Aviators, hikers, fishermen, skiers, gliders, climbers, paddlers, golfers, sailors, hunters, educators, weather buffs and Dads alike will find this an essential tool – that’s also a lot of fun.
