Weather has been very tricky during the recent few years, and nowadays it can take anyone by surprise, even those people who keep themselves constantly updated on weather conditions. However, not everyone tunes in to the Weather Channel all day long, and that's the reason why several manufacturers come to their rescue. If Oregon Scientific is the best known name in this field that doesn't mean that it is the only one and the Weather Mate emergency weather radio stands as proof, even though this very interesting device is still only a concept.

While setting on a voyage, it becomes important to be fully equipped and informed about the correct route and weather conditions to make your journey safe and comfortable. Taking a leaf from the thought, designer Samuel Jones has designed an emergency weather radio called ‘Weather Mate,’ which will automatically notify you of flood, high winds, storms, tornadoes, and other extreme weather conditions.

 

Basically, with the Weather Mate by your side, you'll know whether to get out of the house or better seek shelter in a safe basement, so you won't be taken away by a tornado or hurricane. A very nice feature is the portability of the device, meaning that you'll be able to find out about sudden weather changes, no matter the place you are in and take measures, if needed.

Presenting 6-LED flashlight and full spectrum of NOAA weather frequencies, the weather radio also includes an LCD Screen, circuit board, radio receiver and a speaker. The battery-powered weather radio can also be charged by winding the rear dynamo crank handle, ensuring that it never goes out of power.

 

The Weather Mate comes with an easy to navigate interface that provides users with instant access to NOAA weather radio frequencies, volume control and control of the flashlight. It even features an attractive design, on top of it all.
