List of Top 10 selling Weather Radios
This list of ‘best’ weather radios
has been evaluated as such through those available on Amazon, 4-Stars or better, and sorted by way of popularity. No doubt there are others available elsewhere, some of which may very well be ‘better’ (would be curious to get comments on this).
Not only should the survival preparedness minded person own a weather radio, but everyone should consider the value, especially if you live in a severe weather prone area (thunderstorm, tornado, winter storms, coastal, hurricane, flooding, high wind). A weather radio could save your life. Not only that, but for the weather enthusiast, it is a must have.
Instead of just ‘weather radio’, you may often here it referred to as a ‘NOAA weather radio’. Both terms are essentially referring to the same thing. ‘NOAA’ stands for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a U.S. gov’t organization that manages the ‘NWR’ NOAA Weather Radio emergency broadcast network – which transmits alerts and warnings to weather radios.
While browsing for a weather radio, you will also encounter the acronym, ‘SAME’ or ‘S.A.M.E.’. It stands for Specific Area Message Encoding. A weather radio that has S.A.M.E. technology will enable you to specifically select to receive warnings for only the county where you live, groups of counties, or any other county. This could be desirable if you only want to receive alerts for your county location.
There are a variety of models and brands, and tabletop or portables to pick from. Have a look, and discover the range of styles and features that are available.
