Weather station for Linux / Raspberry Pi?

[JumbleDuck]

My crew is keen to spend some confinement time setting up a weather station in the garden. Lots of standalone ones out there, but the idea would be to process data on either a Raspberry Pi or a Linux desktop.

Can anyone recommend a weather station for this purpose? I have found the Bresser 7002571 on Amazon, which apparently has a USB interface, but the only software mentioned in the manual is "Weathertool" which seems to be part of an OpenStretmap-type cloud sourced weather service, and it woul dbenice to have access to raw data.

At work we use the Airmar 220WX. In our case as an N2k device, but apparently it can use NMEA0183 instead. I'm not sure whether this is a separate version or it just has both ports - I don't get involved in wiring them. But serial ASCII has to be one of the easier formats to deal with for a hobby project.

I vaguely remember it having the option of either standard NMEA sentences or proprietary ones with slightly more data in.

There's also a version for stationary mount (as opposed to on-board) which might be cheaper since it presumably doesn't need a GPS or attitude sensors. I've no idea about pricing (again, not my department) but this probably won't be the low-budget option in any case.

How about sorting out basic sensors.
Maybe via an Arduino?
Temperature and humidity are cheap off the shelf.
wind speed and direction, there are some variations of 'hot wire' types with no moving parts, or ultrasonic.
pressure, there are chips about?
From there, the softies should be able to get it into windoze and the interweb?

I'm keeping electronics projects for when I've finished planting a hedge, resurfacing the drive, mending the fence...
Could do with some rain so I can play indoors!

I was playing with various arduino nano's

Have a look of these weather related projects.

Wind speed /direction could be based on 3 D printed components.
