Outdoor Weather Stations

[Mizicke5273]

Anyone have a weather station in their yard? I've been thinking about picking one up, as I'd like to track rain levels, get wind speed, and possibly wind direction. It should also have a remote base station to check all the info on; a companion App is okay, but not necessary. I see a bunch on Amazon in the ~$150 range and some in the $400 range.

If they are decent enough, I think the ones in the $150 range should suffice for me; don't think I am looking for any advanced features really. So any recommendations or features to look for?

I have this one and like it.

I'm on my third or fourth. The outside unit takes a beating and you get like 5 years out of one and a whole new system is about the same price as the outdoor unit.

I bought a 8 ft section of electrical conduit and mounted it on it. I drove a 4 ft piece of rebar in the ground halfway then slide it down over it.
