If the weather is nice at weekends I need to get up early to do stuff, i.e. gardening, outside jobs on the house. But if it's raining I can't do any of that and I might as well have a good long sleep.
So, have an alarm clock that is linked by a low power radio link to an external rain gauge. If
it's raining more than a preset amount in a preset time window, supress the alarm.

This seems fairly clever. But then you'd miss the joy of waking up to discover it's raining and snuggling back into the blankets to extend the snooze. |

Waugs: Ooops. Sorry. Fixed it. |

Brilliant! I could use it during the week to decide if I should get up and run or sleep in... |

Not to be recommended for umbrella venders. |

Go live in England (or Seattle) and just turn your alarm clock off. |

Hey! It's not raining here today. Oh, hang on... |
