A Guide to the Best of Southern California : HIGH TECH : Read the Wind
IT’S A WINDY day. But is it too windy for kite flying, hot-air ballooning or boating? Accurate wind-speed information can now be literally at hand. Kilo Marine has manufactured a wind-speed anemometer so small it fits in the palm of your hand and weighs less than 3 ounces.
The anemometer (suggested retail price is $89.95) displays wind velocity to 99 knots.
