How do we measure the weather?

'Describe the methods of collecting and measuring meteorological data.'

Well, thanks to the British pastime of weather observation, there are hundreds of websites devoted to the instruments and measurements of weather.

And you can always set up a weather station right outside, collecting data on wind speed, rainfall, humidity and temperature.

Look at Clouds R Us to choose and make instruments. I'll pick out some points from this Wikibooks page. Learn names of clouds gently on youtube.

And keep your eyes on this brilliant weather site please, since it is fantastically informative to all sub-tropical weather watchers. The Hong Kong Observatory.
