The Forecasting Umbrella

February 7th, 2007        

Another unique umbrella today, the Forecasting Umbrella. Why? Because this umbrella is capable of reminding you that it’s gonna rain soon, by simply glowing at the handle. How it works? It is by the integrated wireless data-radio chip inside the umbrella that tunes into Accuweather.com to get you area’s weather forecast. If the chances of raining are 100%, the light will pulse 100 times per minute, if 60% it pulses once per second and 30% is once in every few second. Pricing and availability has not been announced.
