I'm giving you this link because I just have a rain gauge on my back deck with a thermometer mounted to a railing: extremely low tech around here! I do most of my weather forecasting by looking at the sky first thing in the morning.

My local weather man was just talking about this the other day:

The most expensive and best in my opinion are Davis and Rainwise. These will run near or just over $1000 to near $2000 for a Rainwise with all needed components and displays.
As prices come down, quality usually lowers. Most are accurate, but some don't last as long and others may lack some features. Anything you purchase for less than $200 will give you most information, but may not last very long.
The system that has probably been the BEST BANG for the buck is the WeatherFlow Tempest. I bought one back in the spring (shown in picture below) and so far have been very happy. It provides all of the standard info (Temperatures, Wind Chills, Heat Index, Wind Speeds, Gusts, Avg, Rainfall, Humidity, Dew Point, Air Pressure, etc.) that all stations do.
Plus, it has LIVE spot location UV index from the sensor on the station. Lightning detection. All with graphs and notifications that can be customized. Easy and quick set up, no moving parts with this new technology, so it may never break. This is totally wireless and solar powered.
Right now there is a Black Friday Sale on this unit, their biggest discount of the year.
Here is the link for more info and to order

BLACKFRIDAY
This normally sells for $329, which is already a good price for the unit, the BLACKFRIDAY code will knock off 20%. This will save more than $65 and bring the price down to $263.20
This comes with your own App to see you data on your phone. Also, a direct website link for your weather station to observe and send to your friends.

Got our at COSTCO (Acurite 5 in 1) and it works just fine and we've had it going on five years without a problem.
Just buy a weatherbunny for that amount.

I've used Accurite, LaCrosse, and Davis units. The best low-cost one I've found is Accurite... so far lasted about 8 years at the farm and still running. LaCross units seem just as good, but cost a bit more. I've never paid retail any of them, just wait for annual sales. All manufacturers have Internet connectivity either native to the unit or through a PC.
