If you're looking to spend around £150, you can get the WS2300, which has a
serial port pc connection. It measures all the normal weather variables,
and has indoor sensors for temp and humidity. It comes with software so
current conditions can be sent to your site. Theres an example of it at my
site www.dudleyweather.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk

This is the model

Bewa if it's faulty, Skyview will not refund the postage to return it.
My WS-3600 was faulty; it cost be nearly GBP10 to send it back and they
refused to refund postage, stating it was in their terms and conditions. I
have since found out that they should have done, under whatever law it
is that covers mail ordering. Unfortunately I've lost the receipt of postage
by now.

No hesitation in recommending Prodata.
Bad experience with Skyview several years ago, they have not changed by the
sound of it!

I am contemplating treating myself to a home weather station this
Christmas, measuring all the usual weather variables. Must have indoor
instrumentation, linked (preferably) by cable, and must have serial
output for PC processing.

Recommendations anyone?

I think you will find that Oregon Scientific and Davis are the two
most common weather stations for typical home use. Both are very
good. Costco is selling the WMR-968, the one I use, for only $175. I
paid over $300 for mine, but I did get the Virtual Weather Station
software with it.

I have mine connected to my PC for detailed weather information. All
my remote stations are wireless. Besides the usual, I monitor garage
temperature, freezer temperature, and ham shack temperature. My
software connects to the Internet, and my weather console is available
anywhere in the world, as well as APRS data with weather. I also
belong to the weather underground. You can see my data there at
http://www.wunderground.com/weathers...p?ID=KAZDEWEY1
If you want to see it on Findu.com go here.

If you want to see a subset of my weather console on my computer, go
here. http://myweb.cableone.net/rhughes/weather/wx.htm Be sure and
look at the details on this page.

In short, you can do just about anything you want with the data. Just
depends upon how far you want to go. The Oregon Scientific station
has worked flawlessly for over two years, even in the hot, Arizona
sun.
