Treasures of the Household

SAM_6740 Part Twelve: The Reida Eleven Inch Wall Clock with Thermometer and Hygrometer delivers important data points.

This should help me decide if I dislike the Shanghai weather less in winter (too cold) or in summer (too hot). At the moment it shows an indoors temperature of eleven degrees (very consistent over the last few days). Good that I have an extensive collections of sweaters (that can also be combined into multiple layers), not to mention my Bingjie Keeping Warm Trousers.

The hygrometer apparently does not indicate the likelihood of rain fall.
