Does anyone have experience of a weather station

Try uk.sci.weather (added to the Newsgroups: line).

Several weather stations have USB connectivity, a now reducing number
have RS232. I've not come across one that supports ethernet or WiFi
directly.


There are a few but W ifi / ethernet = computer = expensive. I use a
netbook for data logging and internet serving

If you can't find one that goes to WiFi directly then how about one of
these to keep the power down?
