 ===== Data to capture =====
+Weather stations generally capture temperature and atmospheric pressure at the very least. Those with sensors that are outdoors also capture temperature and pressure, but might also capture wind speed and direction,rainfall, and humidity. With that data calculations can be made to determine the dew point, wind chill, and heat index.
+It's also possible to add sensors for air quality, snow depth, sunlight, cloud cover, cloud height, and much more.
+Whilst buying a commercial weather station is an easy way into data collection it is also possible to build one from a kit or using small computers such as the raspberry-pi which can have senors added.

+===== Air Quality Monitoring =====
+The UK's DEFRA has a public facing [[https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map|website]] that shows automatic air quality monitoring stations measuring oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and particles (PM10 and PM2.5). [[https://map.purpleair.com|Purple Air]] provide an interactive map of their network of citizen monitoring stations, and they also sell monitors.
