What is a Weather Station?

A weather station is a device that collects data related to the weather and environment using many different sensors. Weather stations are also called weather centers, personal weather stations, professional weather stations, home weather station, weather forecaster and forecasters.

 

Weather stations sensors may include a thermometer to take temperature readings, a barometer to measure the pressure in the atmosphere, as well as other sensors to measure rain, wind, humidity and more. Weather stations range from simple analog technology to digital technology Some even connect to your computer or the internet, so the data collected can be analyzed using weather station software.

 

Weather station data can be used to gauge current weather conditions and to predict the future weather forecast, like temperature high / lows, cloud cover and probability of precipitation. Weather stations are used by meteorologists, weather buffs, gardeners, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, students, pilots – anyone who enjoys weather data or relies on the weather to make decisions.
