The document summarizes the key instruments and measurements taken at a weather station. A weather station continuously measures temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, sunshine, and cloud cover. Standard instruments are used to allow for comparisons between weather stations. Temperature is recorded using thermometers housed in a Stevenson screen, which is painted white, raised above the ground, and has louvred sides. Precipitation, wind direction and speed, pressure, and sunshine are all also measured using common instruments like raingauges, wind vanes, anemometers, barometers, and Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorders. Clouds are observed and types recorded with instruments like nephoscopes.
