Okay, so I'm thinking of starting a project that will help me with my weather learning by setting up a system.
Frequently Asked Questions That Weren't Asked But Might Be (FAQTWABMB)I'm interested! What do I do?There are 3 classes of members.
C Class, which reports on cloud cover and wind direction, if it rained at all that day, and simple stuff like that.
B Class, which reports on the above, as well as if they have
any type of thermometer and hygrometer.
A Class, which reports full weather reports with weather stations.
I don't have any thermometers. I can't participate, right?Yes you can, read the question above.
As you can see, you don't need $200 to be part of this project. If you're only a C class... You can simply buy a $10 thermometer (they usually come with hygrometers (humidity meters))
So I have this stuff... What now?Post here whenever you can, but it's recommended to post your weather once a day.
How to "register"?Say what class you want to be, and I'll be expecting your data. I'll also need your location, simply a city or major city (if you live in a metro area).
What locations are accepted?From the Pacific ocean to Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. British Columbia and Baja Mexico are as well.
What will you do with this data?I will make a daily chart with your location's information on it. This coupled with infrared imagery will be used to predict the weather along the Pacific West Coast.
I don't like weather.That's not a question. Go away.
I don't want to do this, and I don't like weather.See above.

IV. Techniques to get accurate information
I. C Class
The C Class is a simple, but yet essential part of the USFUSWCW Project. It is essentially free. No equipment is needed. The only requirements are that you aren't blind, and you live in an area that wind is not obstructed very badly.
Ia. What's Expected?
Every day, particularly in the evening, I expect a report of the following:
II. B Class
B Class is a class that has a bit extra information over C class. This extra information can be obtained with little money. A simple thermometer can be purchased at Walmart/Target for around $10 to $20. Rain gauges are also very inexpensive.
IIa. What's expected?
The following is expected by B class members:
- The extra data you have (recommended to be hourly, but not required)
III. A Class
A Class are the highest members of this project. They have the most information of value, but do not get discouraged if you don't have the money to buy a $100+ weather station. C and B class members are just as useful.
IIIa. What's Expected?
