At the top are the wind speed and direction sensors. The first two pictures show my first installation of the weather station's outdoor sensors, mounted on my garden fence with a TV aerial standoff bracket. My station came with some Windows software called EasyWeather, but I've connected it to an embedded Linux box (an Asus WL-500gP V1 router) so I can upload "live" weather data to this web site. One thing that sets these apart from other weather stations is that they have a USB socket to connect to a computer. It's branded "Elecsa AstroTouch 6975", but a brief web search showed that it's functionally identical to several other brands, such as Watson W-8681 or WH-1080PC / WH1080 (the WH1081 is similar, but doesn't have a radio controlled clock). In April 2008 I bought an electronic weather station.
