Kestrel 3500FW Fire Weather Meter
Designed for wildland firefighting applications, the rugged 3500FW provides a variety of weather measurements and also includes an easy-to-read Probability of Ignition (PIG) and Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM) reference card. The meter measures barometric pressure, pressure trend, altitude, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind chill, dew point temperature, wet bulb temperature (psychrometric), and heat stress index. The 3500FW features a large backlit display, a real-time clock, and a hold function. Housed in an IP67 waterproof body that floats, the meter is MIL-STD-810G drop tested. Lanyard, slide-on cover, CR2032 coin cell battery (average life 300 hours), and PIG/FDFM reference card included. Five-year manufacturer’s warranty.

I bought this unit to help me in Prescribed burning operations within my agency.
I use the Kestrel when conducting prescribed burns on my property. It gives me fast; accurate information that I need to know before I light a fire; especially wind speed and relative humidity. Easier to use than my previous fire weather kit. Definitely worth the cost.
