Hello All!
Earlier today, I was sitting at my desk thinking about how I wish there was a forum dedicated to weather "things" where I could get advice. Little did I know you were all already here!
Thanks for letting me join you. My wife and I are building our first home. They just started on the block walls today. I had always planned to get a weather station mounted on the side of the house, but hadn't really thought about logistics. Since this is new construction, are there any power requirements I should plan for in advance?
Related to the station itself, I'm looking to spend less than $500 (but this is flexible, and might be based on my ignorance). I travel a lot for business, often bringing my wife along, and we'd like to be able to check the data from the house remotely while we're away, particularly rain totals, wind speed, etc. We live in Central Florida, so interested in the usual suspects for our area.
Thoughts, suggestions, recommendations are appreciated, both for the equipment itself as well as just newbie, beginner advice for embarking in the world of weather tracking.
