I wonder if on this wonderful site, there is someone that can tell me about weather stations please.

Yes I have one, and no I dont know how it rates with more experienced Weather hobbyists.

It is a "techno Ws 2300", it serves me well and I realise it is probably at the lower end of the range but it of course what one can afford.

I would like to know what other people think of this item though. Also I would like to see a list of the good, not so good and absolutely awful ones,

because like everything else there are bound to be some on the market which are best left alone.

I am interested to find out.

Thank you.

Davis Vantage Pro are supposed to be the best stations but also the most expensive. Next up are the Oregon Scientific/WMR range, which are slightly less expensive but also slightly lower quality.

My WMR928NX is mostly good but has proved to have a few faulty components, notably the rain gauge which didn't communicate correctly and had to be replaced.
