How to create your own weather station?

Wifi weather station?

• Cheap wifi-enabled weather station? We have a cottage up north it's in an area where no weather stations appear to be active. (WU shows several Strawberry, AZ stations, but they're all inactive or really Pine, which is about 600 feet lower.) We have wifi and broadband internet here (really roughing it) so I'd love a cheap weather station that can get me just temperature and upload it through our access point. I *don't* have a computer set up there non stop, though I guess we could go with a headless box to handle the software, but I'd like to keep the cost down to as low as possible. http://www.ambientweather.com/orwmr200.html looks like it might work, but it needs a base station computer (or extra ethernet box) to upload... Is there an affordable station that will send straight over wifi? Or will I almost certainly need a computer to push the updates?

• Answer:

  I've only seen weather stations that will upload to a PC via USB. You might have to hack it yourself, possibly an http://www.arduino.cc/ with ethernet shield and the appropriate weather sensors (temp, humidity)?
