Outdoor activities of all kinds are made safer and more pleasurable by preparedness for the elements. This Heat Index and Windchill Gauge assists outdoor adventurers of all sorts by reporting not only an actual, but also a "feels like" temperature. An area shaded by yellows, reds and oranges at the top of the instrument dial demonstrates Heat Index, a phenomenon that occurs when high temperatures and humidity combine to make the outdoor air feel higher than it really is. Meanwhile, a blue shaded region at the bottom of the dial displays Windchill, which presents when cooler temperatures and a significant breeze cause it to seem colder than it really is. The Veranda Collection Heat Index and Windchill Gauge is constructed of solid brass and crystal clear glass designed to withstand a lifetime of outdoor use and comes with two mounting options. It's solid, uncoated brass and hardware will never peel, flake or rust and will age beautifully into a rich patina and eventually a lovely verdigris. It contains a proven movement, is easily disassembled for necessary adjustments and comes with a Lifetime Guarantee.
