NSW deluge to bring drought relief as it travels south
As the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions reel from devastating floods, there is now high confidence the soaking will shift south during the coming days and bring drought relief to parts of the Murray Basin.
How Trump’s National Weather Service Cuts Could Cost Lives #weather #WeatherForecasts #NOAA #noaabudgetcuts #nws https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-trumps-national-weather-service-cuts-could-cost-lives/
I'm after weather station recommendations. Wind speed and direction, rain, temperature and humidity are essential and UV/light would be good. I need output via MQTT (I'm not averse to some 433MHz/SDR type solution).
Does anybody have any recommendations from personal experience?

@GottaLaff Call your reps and senators! I’m calling about this and also the Great Lakes Observing System today. #NOAA #GreatLakesObservingSystem #weatherforecasts #GreatLakes #NOAAbudgetcuts https://news.jrn.msu.edu/2025/05/budget-cuts-threaten-great-lakes-weather-forecasting/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeU7Nk7lyi5UJcL1D8aShCsj_EEIcepkqf9RgVm6YJxZhLN8i1LKAZh2nYhLA_aem_YgHSXbg_WexLROSVz6Yzqw
Weather balloon cuts raise forecast accuracy concerns #noaacuts #NOAA #weatherballoons #WeatherForecasts #weatherforecastingthreatened #wisconsin https://www.wisn.com/article/weather-balloon-cuts-raise-forecast-accuracy-concerns/64674114 @ai6yr
Anyone has recommendations for a weather station? Or a good guide on where to begin?
I would love to build my own but its been a project for years and I havent gotten to it yet.
Trump's planned cuts "eliminate NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Office and its 10 research laboratories ... The scientific backbone and workforce needed to keep #WeatherForecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective will be drastically undercut, with almost certainly disastrous consequences for public safety and economic health":

More notes from the live chat by Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain) on the chaos being wrought upon the National Weather Service:
Dept of Commerce terminated an agreement with a university regarding weather/climate research stated "this cooperative agreement promotes exaggerated climate threats...promoting anxiety..."
A doc from the White House states that the proposed close the NOAA office that does and funds research on weather and oceanographic. NASA is targeted for larger cuts regarding planetary research. Many cooperative research centers will be closed. Proposed is the canceling the partnership between NASA and NOAA, which would end weather satellite updates.

A list of notes on the chaos in the NOAA from the Live Chat by Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain):
Staff in the Sacramento NWS office is critically understaffed. Monterey office has lost people and are understaffed. Weather balloons to gather vital info twice a day are not being launched due to understaffing, which will degrade weather forecasting. In Canduca (sp?) Kentucky the building of the weather office cannot pay for backed up toilets and all maintenance has been fired. Plus, it forced staff to use an outside porta potty in an active hurricane warning. Hazardous wastes trained staff have been fired and now offices have been shut down due to no one being able to safely dispose of the waste. Some staff have been fired 3x with the firings and rehiring. US global change research program on observed and expected impact of climate change report--the company doing the report were fired, even though it was congressionally mandated.
At 4 PM (on 4/14/25) Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain) is discussing the impacts of the destruction of the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Association and the National Weather Service.
