I got into weather stations just recently. If you don't want to go that far in the DIY way for the hardware I recommend getting [1] + [2] or if you are from EU like me [3].
You can see some of the data here [4]
You can hook this thing up to the internet over wifi and it will send data to https://www.ecowitt.net https://www.ecowitt.net https://www.wunderground.com https://www.wunderground.com https://weathercloud.net/ https://weathercloud.net/ and/or post it to your custom endpoint. The gateway can also be queried for data over an API. This thing is quite new on the market but I am very happy with it. You can hook it up to already supported websites or you can use a raspberry pi to collect data yourself (WeeWx and Cumulus MX already support the API).

- mythor 6y agoGood tips, I would like to add that if you already have a weather station you can buy a $10 RTL-SDR like [1] and plug it in to a PI, then use ready made software [2] to extract the weather information. You can hook this data up to any API you would like.
