weather instruments

Tools measuring climate

Weather instruments are tools used to measure atmospheric conditions—thermometers for temperature, barometers for pressure, anemometers for wind speed, hygrometers for humidity.

A weather station combines several instruments in one location.

The old weather instruments in the museum still worked perfectly.
