When it comes to measuring wind accurately and reliably, the choice of sensor matters. While 3-cup anemometers have long been a staple in meteorological instrumentation, they’re no longer the best option for many modern applications. At R.M. Young Company, we believe...
What’s it like to stand in the path of a Category 5 hurricane—on purpose? We recently had the thrill of sitting down with legendary storm chaser and weather personality Josh Morgerman who’s been inside more hurricanes than anyone on Earth (80 and counting!). In this...
Mount Washington, known for its ferocious weather, presents a formidable challenge for any weather instrumentation. Sitting at 6,288 feet, the highest peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is notorious for its hurricane-force winds, subfreezing temperatures,...
We’re excited to share some big news from R.M. Young Company—we have acquired SensorLogic, the team behind SNOdar, one of the most advanced snow depth sensors available today. This strategic acquisition allows us to expand our suite of precision meteorological...
It is very bittersweet that we announce the retirement of President Tom Young, marking the end of an era for our family-founded and operated company. Tom, who has been an integral part of R.M. Young since 1991, officially stepped down as President on April 1, 2025. He...
Weather sensors are an essential component of meteorological systems, helping to monitor and predict the atmosphere’s conditions. From ancient observations based on natural phenomena to the cutting-edge technologies used today, weather sensors have undergone...
Thinking about building a weather station? The process of gathering weather data is always exciting, but as most people know, data is only as good as the tools that collect it. Selecting the right sensors for your weather station is essential to gather the data that...
Ever wondered why your precipitation readings seem off? It might not be your sensors—it’s all about location. Installing a weather station is an exciting way to monitor local conditions and gain valuable insights into your environment. However, the accuracy of your...
We are excited to host a special book signing event with Cyrena Arnold—Meteorologist, Storm Chaser, and Author—at booth 517 during the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting, January 13–14, 2025. Arnold’s professional accomplishments begin back in 2006...
Not many companies can say that they’ve touched the top of the world, but we're proudly one of them. Our Alpine Wind Monitor survived a year atop Mount Everest as part of a monitoring station to measure the most extreme weather conditions in the world. At an altitude...
