ArabiaWeather.com – A French designer created a smart umbrella called "Oombrella" that is able to warn its holder of the expectation of rain 15 minutes in advance, thanks to a capsule built into its handle and equipped with a set of sensors that monitor weather temperature, pressure and humidity.

The smart umbrella is connected via Bluetooth and an application to be downloaded, to inform the user of the weather and the possibility of rain at least 15 minutes before leaving the house, in addition to warning him not to forget it at home.

The umbrella includes a place dedicated to installing the camera, like a GoPro, and it is characterized by a wind-resistant structure and an elegant design, in addition to advanced communication features, as it provides the user with statistics on rainy trips that he made, the time he used it, and how the weather was in the places he went to.

And by connecting the umbrella to a smartphone, it is able to alert the user in the event of phone calls or text messages, if the user cannot hear the phone during his trip, for example. The umbrella is linked to the weather service Wizo, which has 200,000 users.

The umbrella is still in the funding stage through Kickstarter, and its price is expected to reach $30 after completion, according to the technical news website Engadget.
