Does anyone have experience of a weather station
sending back information over the internet,
preferably by WiFi but possible by USB connection
to a remote computer?

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.

This may not be quite what you are trying to achieve but could you not use
one of the cheaper (but good) weather stations some of us have (e.g.
Watson/Easy Offset type) which are wireless to console , then USB to PC
which can then send data to web or say a network like Weather Underground,
so that it can be accessed from anywhere. Live data down to one minute
intervals is possible.

e.g. www.laindonweather.co.uk
