What’s incredible, it’s that the umbrella is for real, and there’s even plenty of interest on the product for some agencies to get them.

It’s been raining for over three   days in a row non-stop. You have no idea how annoying that is, and it’s even more annoying when you forget to carry your umbrella. I wish they´d invent an umbrella that tells you when it’s going to rain so you carry it around and cover yourself from that nasty gadget-busting rain… But wait! Someone heard my prayers, THERE IS AN UMBRELLA THAT DOES ALL THIS!!!

The Ambient Forecasting Umbrella has some wonderful technology in the handle. A built-in wireless receiver gets a daily weather forecast from Accuweather.com, and blue LEDs will flash to let you know if the forecast is rain or snow.  The LEDs located at the bottom of the handle will flash in proportion to the chance of precipitation for your area; if there is a 100% chance, it will flash quickly, and if a 10% chance, it will flash slowly.

The umbrella itself is also incredibly well made. When opened, the umbrellas 58″ dual-canopy “gust buster” design resists strong wind gusts and keeps you fully sheltered from precipitation. Easy push-button opening action and full length storage sleeve with wrist strap.

I’m ordering one of these babies today at thinkgeek!
