Have you ever checked the local weather report and been told it was sunny out when rain was pelting your window? There�s a reason for that: weather updates depend on the location of the monitoring equipment, often at airports, where conditions can be quite different from where you are.

See this Article (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/11/technology/personaltech/a-guide-to-personal-weather-stations.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0) for an interesting idea.

Check Weatherunderground Personal Weather Stations | Weather Underground (http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/about.asp)

Use the map to view a number of weather stations in TV along with their weather history. They also have a good list of weather stations and somewhere on the site there is a good description on how to set up a site.
