Default Weather station

Aldi & Lidl sell reasonable ones every 6 months or so

For £10-£12 you get a fairly basic wireless indoor-outdoor version that
will give you temperatures and record max-min

For £18-£20 you'll get a better one that will measure pressure, and give
you indoor/outdoor temp and humidity, also moon/sun rise/set times.

Keep your eyes out for them.

If you want logging and more sophisticated sensors, Oregon seem to be
well specced, but at a price.

If you're near a Clas Ohlson, they have a fairly wide Range available -
check their online catalogue for details. No idea of quality or
relative cost I'm afraid.

One thing to watch for is spares. The outdoor sensor for my cheap
station failed, no replacements available, so the whole thing
(for outdoor monitoring) is scrap.

I occasionally think about replacing it, even getting one of the
better units. Then I think - here on my desktop I have a Gadget
showing accurate readings for 4 miles away, plus I have a garden
too small to measure wind or rain accurately anyway
