Bill:
Dallas Semiconductor sold weather stations several years ago that
could talk to Linux (as well as that other OS). It was about $80US.
I believe that another firm is now marketing the product. A google search
ought to find it. The base system includes wind speed and direction,
and temperature. There was an add-on for a rain guage too.
The software to control it was included.
