Personal Weather Station
Just like all things space and aviation, I’ve also always been fascinated with everything weather-related. I also like collecting data - so put those two things together and having a personal weather station (PWS) at my house seemed like an obvious answer, right? I’ve had one off and on at 3 different houses now. The “off” period was when a tornado destroyed the last one in 2020 and I finally bought a new one at the beginning of the year. For both of my stations, I’ve gone with Ambient Weather devices. I’ve always found them a good mix of reliable components, but also not prohibitively expensive for amateur home use. The particular station I’m using is the Ambient Weather WS-2000 (NOT affiliate links), but it is a little on the pricier side. If you’re looking for something a little more affordable, the WS-2902C is about half the price. (Yes, the model numbers confuse me, too) The biggest difference is the WS-2902C doesn’t support additional addon sensors, where the WS-2000 does.
