Weather forecast umbrella

American company Ambient Devices designed a umbrella that not only protects the sun but also informs you when it is going to rain.

This umbrella is attached to the handheld device to receive weather information from 150 locations in the United States. This weather forecast is taken from Accuweather.com through a wireless network.

If the weather forecast to rain in 12 hours, the handle of the box will have flashing lights. If there are sound alarms lightly, discontinuously, it means it will rain lightly. If there is a continuous and fast signal then you should be prepared to receive a storm coming.

Company spokesman Mark Prince said the box shows the ability to integrate information from the Internet into everyday products. "You can leave the umbrella at the door and it will tell you whether you need it today or not," Prince said.

The umbrella uses batteries. It will be available this week in the US for $ 140.
