cedros 984 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Does anyone know where one can buy a thermometer for outside? No luck at the notion store on Ajijic plaza or Home Depot. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
canmex87 138 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Amazon (U.S.) have a large selection that ship to Mexico. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sm1mex 401 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Check the garden store, lake side just past the 7/11 convenient store going East in Riberas. They have a wall with all kinds of things hanging on it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cedros 984 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 The Garden store has none. Amazon.com.mx has some but they are imported. The last time I tried to get something from them that was imported it took a month. It went into the US postal system and then the Mexican one-where they could not find it.

hammerhead 45 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Buy a plain thermostat used for heating or A/C they for sure are available, also at the same time pick up a magnifying glass to cover it with or buy a cheap pair of reading glasses to hang next to the stat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 That would not work at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No luck at the notion store on Ajijic plaza or Home Depot. Are you looking for a outdoor thermometer with large numbers or a weather station with outdoor mentor?

Arroyos 116 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Try a number of the dollar stores on Madero in Chapala north of the Plaza and on the same side. They usually don't open until 10 am so don't go early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ferret 3,021 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 The garden store actually has them on order. I was in there today because I'm waiting for the hanging baskets I ordered. I will check for you when I go in again tomorrow. I can have one put aside with "Cedros" on it if you wish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ComputerGuy 4,661 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have never been able to find an outdoor thermometer here in almost 20 years of looking. The ones I have are brought in from Canada or purchased from Amazon U.S. Mexico's culture does not have an interest in the outdoor temperature, except to go outside and feel it.

Did she happen to mention what style? Large and round, tall and thin...? Large numbers or small...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I had several that I brought from Canada but I gave them away thinking I could easily buy replacement ones here but..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also wanted a rain gauge but the one she had wouldn't work for me since I have no freestanding posts to which I can attach it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the Mexican culture, the temperature outside is the same as the temperature inside.😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ellie 114 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 In past years, I have found them at the dollar store - and bought two. First one finally died and the replacement is in it's place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 A few years back I bought one at that store but they don't sell them now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 They did not come in at the Garden Center. Superlake has one but it is of poor quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
