What is a Weather Station & How Does It Work?A weather station is a device which collects and reports environmental, atmospheric and weather related measurements.
A typical weather station includes a barometer, an anemometer and wind vane, a hygrometer, a thermometer and a self-emptying rain gauge. The majority of weather stations also include sensors to measure the temperature and humidity indoors as well. More complex professional weather stations might also include ultraviolet or UV light sensors, solar radiation sensors, a snow gauge, soil moisture sensors, leaf wetness sensors, soil temperature sensors and water temperature sensors. Some professional weather stations can also measure the amount of evapotranspiration which is very useful in the agricultural industry. Weather stations come in two variations, wireless and wired.
