Weather Stations and Meteorology Instruments

Temperature calls for a min-max thermometer, rainfall calls for a rain gauge, and humidity calls for a sling psychrometer. Choose based on the specific weather variable your lesson covers.

British pattern and BA pattern rain gauges both collect rainfall but differ in design and reading method. Confirm which pattern matches your existing equipment or preference.

Weather instruments like rain gauges are often used outdoors and exposed to the elements. Copper construction resists corrosion better than cheaper alternatives.

Ongoing weather observation projects benefit from having instruments permanently set up rather than shared between classes, so budget for dedicated units where possible.

A minimum-maximum thermometer records the highest and lowest temperatures reached since it was last reset, useful for tracking daily or weekly temperature ranges.

Both collect and measure rainfall, but they differ in design tradition and reading method. The BA pattern gauge is used with a separate measuring glass, while the British pattern has its own built-in measure.

A sling psychrometer compares readings from a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer after being spun through the air. The difference between the two readings is used to calculate relative humidity.
