![]() I could go around and gather up sensors for the different parts and combine them on a bread board. So I am proposing a different approach to a Personal Weather Station, lets build one of our own. The only problem with these solutions is you really don’t know anything about how they work, could they be better, and if they are giving you good information. To more professional weather stations like the WeatherHawk 620, for $6,825.00. They range from simple home units like Ambient Weather WS-1075, for $59.95. If you look on the internet there are lots of ready made weather stations for sale. Also it would be nice to let a computer do the work of recording the values and logging the data so you don’t need to. But wouldn’t it be nice to share your information with an organization who would like to use your info. Second, you are the only person getting any value from your readings. First, do you want to walk out to a weather station several times a day. Then you have the weather for your site.īut wait, there are a few things wrong with this scenario. Then all you need to do it go out every 3 to 4 hours, read the gauges, and write the values in your log book. Build a box to hold some instruments, like a thermometer, a barometer, a hygrometer, a weather vane, a wind speed indicator, and a rain gauge. We have thousands of stations in our world-wide network and the project is still growing! PWS ![]() The Personal Weather Station (PWS) project allows anyone to purchase a low cost automated weather station and contribute the conditions to our website. ![]() Add to this that the WeatherUnderGround Personal Weather Station Network, encourages you to contribute your data to their site, and you have an interesting DIY project. But recording those pieces of information can be fun and challenging. The process of predicting the weather is beyond home weather stations. Yet all this information is based on weather stations that report information like temperature, humidity, barometic pressure, wind direction and speed, plus rain fall amounts. ![]() We have weather apps on our phones, and reports on our radio’s. The weather is a constant topic of interest and concern to everyone.
