For the science fair, I have to do a project on weather. I decided to make my own mini weather station, but I really cant find any information regarding the topic. I have searched the internet and the local librarys, but I have had no luck. Should I give up on this topic? Is there any web sites that can help me?
thanks!

Tere is a lot out there. You might have better luck by looking into what you want to measure.
Humidity can be measured by swinging a thermometer in the air that has a moist cloth or other material on the bulb. and seeing how much the temeperature goes down. Comparing to a dry bulb temp, there are tables in the library books to figue the humidity by the difference in temps-
wet and dry.
Also look into boy scout manuals and "science toy stores etc.
Wind can be mesured relativley by hinging a light plate (such aas aluminum foil) onto a rod (round pencil,) and seeing how far it moves in the wind. Many etc's.
Pressure- a clear plasic hose with water,shaped into a U--- closed on one end
