AcuRite Announces "My AcuRite" Cloud-Based Weather Environment System

AcuRite®, the leader in personal weather monitoring and forecasting technology, is pleased to announce the My AcuRite weather environment system. This versatile, customizable and expandable platform allows construction professionals to accurately measure local conditions and receive notifications of changing conditions. This will allow them to save costs by better planning job site staffing, protecting materials from bad weather and harsh elements, sharing conditions with key employees, and effectively executing construction activities.

My AcuRite is built upon a powerful cloud-based platform that delivers AcuRite’s proven environmental measurement technologies to a consumer’s laptop, tablet or smartphone.
