The metal outdoor thermometer looks great and would make a lovely garden thermometer.

At 19cm it is about the length of a hand so cute and neat, with numbers large for it`s size, it is a lot easier to read than a mercury thermometer.

Instead of squinting at tiny numbers and a thin thread of mercury, you glance and see the big red hand pointing at the temperature.

Just like telling the time.

Made from metal, with a glass cover on the front, and sealed, the works are protected from the weather, making the outdoor metal thermometer weather resistant.

And what weather.

With measuring starting at -50c or -60f and going up to +50c or 120f, this garden thermometer is all set for anything global warming or cooling throws at us.

Having both temperature scales on one thermometer dial is handy too as you can instantly convert at a glance if someone is talking centigrade Celsius instead of Fahrenheit or the other way around.

There`s a stripped down classic design to this metal outdoor thermometer.

The designers have thought through the practicalities, building in an eyelet on the back, so that when you hang it the thermometer appears to float on your wall.

The clean lines are so pleasing we suspect many customers will put the metal outdoor thermometer near their front doors to glance at when they leave home or return.

Or use it as an indoor thermometer.
