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?

Hmmm. £7.99 per unit, with no obvious sign of any method of connecting
to a PC. Not really what I am looking for.

I don't really know what these things cost yet.

This site covers weather stations from very basic through to sophisticated
plus books on weather, atomic clocks and all sorts:-

Hope you find it as useful as me although I am still undecided as to whether
(sic) to expand my wireless Oregon, homemade rain gauge and aneroid wall
barometer!

urm -- quite a lot of pennies - but then they are quite some bits of kit
We have been saving for a while now and are in the midst of dotting the eyes
and crossing the t's on the details.

I bought a station about four years ago from that source and I found them to
be very helpful when I had to have a defective humidity sensor replaced
under warranty. It is not a problem that should occur now as I think there
was a defective batch of sensors around at that time.

I would go for a wireless model personally as they are more flexible in
operation and the reception range has been improved in the latest model. I
would also go for a USB logger connection unless your PC is old and does not
have a USB interface.

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

Hope that helps
