Recording overnight temps

Evie · 20-12-2009, 08:21 PM

Does anyone use a gadget that records the temperatures overnight ( if that makes sense) so you can see the lowest temp and what time it dropped.

Ideally I would like to have one that alarms if the temp drops if there is such a thing - at the moment I keep a tubular heater on 24/7 and a wall mounted dimplex heater for backup but I still worry.

Any ideas?

The £2.99 one I got from Lidl last winter did. You reset it and it shows the lowest temp but doesn't give at what time. 3am to 6am is generally regarded as being the lowest temps of the night but it depends if the weather changes of course. I no longer have it as I left it out and it got wet and stopped working but even cheap ones like that will probably have a min and max on them

you can get a min/max thermometer from a garden centre but again it won't tell you the time but will give you the lowest and highest temps and you just reset it each time you want a new reading.

Hiya
We sell a data logger here http://youraccount.ekmpowershop11.co...lead-783-p.asp
Or a thermometer with max and min settings, i use them in my leopard shed. Reset it every night and it will record the lowest temp it reached in the night and the highest.
