Raincheck – The Weather Reporting Umbrella Stand » Gadget Flow

Be sure if you’re going to need your umbrella before you leave the house with Raincheck, the weather reporting umbrella stand. By a show of light, you’ll get an instant report of the weather for the next eight hours. The subtle lighting system is neatly tucked inside a minimalist yet beautiful wood stand. You can see if it will be clear with a blue light, raining with a flashing blue light, snow with a flashing white light, and an alert for severe weather with a blinking red light. Raincheck connects via Wi-Fi to the incredibly accurate Dark Sky app and automatically updates every fifteen minutes. Made of solid black walnut, the final product displays a gorgeous wood grain that is handmade and finished with Danish oil.
