For those that do not feel brave enough to build a weather station from scratch you can buy a 'Watson W-8681' Weather Station and hook up a Raspberry Pi to it to collect all the data.
Jim Easterbrook (ex-BBC engineer) has a really good write up on the process, and also shares his python code:

I don't know Jim, but I have done the same following his instructions.
- jrockway 6y agoThis is more useful. The mechanics of the IoT is one problem that might need to be solved, but sourcing good sensors is more interesting to read about. I unfortunately do not have a good site for a weather station, so I just use the NYS Mesonet: http://www.nysmesonet.org/ http://www.nysmesonet.org/ (They charge $450,000 a year for commercial customers but still don't have a TLS certificate. The weather stations are good, though.)
