Kestrel 4000 NV Weather Meter
-
Measures
- Wind Speed
- Air/Water/Snow Temperature
- Wind Chill
- Relative Humidity
- Heat Stress Index
- Dewpoint Temp
- Wet Bulb Temp
- Barometric Pressure
- Altitude
- Density Altitude

A wide range of Kestrel pocket weather meters, including models with feature sets specifically for HVAV technicians, auto racers, and construction workers is available.
