We’ve made note of the those nicely designed gadgets from Ambient Devices in the past. Now, Ambient has on offer the Forecasting Umbrella that incorporates a weather forecast data-radio in the handle.

If the probability of rain is 100% the light in the handle of the umbrella will flash 100 times per minute. A 60% chance of rain translates to 60 pulses per minute.

The data is sourced from AccuWeather.com and is delivered over pager networks.
