An outdoor weather station is a device that senses and reports environmental data outdoors, typically consisting of an anemometer, a rain gauge or other rainfall detector, a thermometer and a barometer. Many stations also measure soil temperature, leaf wetness and other parameters. They are used in weather forecasting and by farmers for optimizing agricultural practices.

Types of outdoor weather stations
Another popular brand in weather stations is Oregon Scientific. Outdoor weather stations are available in many configurations. There are ones that measure only temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed/direction or just about any combination of conditions you want to track. Some have built-in sensors for soil moisture and plant water status.
Raingauges can be built-in, or you can hang a rain gauge from a tree limb. Most of these types of weather stations display the measurements on a digital readout. Some have a remote console that displays the information and also transmits it to a computer or other electronic device available at the location.
Honeywell builds high-quality weather stations, including one model with a wireless remote console for viewing conditions from a distance. These systems have many additional features and come in a variety of price ranges.
