If you want a cheap and complete station buy a lacrosse weather station at Sam's Club for about $100.  A Davis weather station is also very good but more expensive.

There is no such thing for any private person that is practical that is not less than $138,456.00 let alone the cost of the FCC operating license for the transmitter!  Maybe you could just get by with a laptop with a wireless link to a on line weather service!  \n\nHave no Idea of what you are going for. But I do have extensive experience in this field.  I mean you could acually get a satellite ground station for less!  With better results!  If you will give additional details I can furnish a better answer I will look back to see if you add anything!\n\nLET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU!\n\nAPS

If you mean how can we forecast the weather, it's largely a matter of  measuring teh movement or change of wind currents, humidity, and a number of other factors.  Now, most of that is fed into a computer, and it gives aprediciton of what the weather will be over a short period of time.  Or, you could use an ancient Indian weather rock:  If it's hot, the sun is out; if it's wet, it's raining; if it's swinging, the wind is blowing...

I think you would make an excellent weatherman. That information is probably more informative, than anything they make up everyday. At least your information is guaranteed to be correct in one way or another.

A radiometer does what you describe. \n\nhttp://store.sundancesolar.com/solrad.html\n\n\nDirections to build a simple radiometer:\n\nMake a radiometer to measure solar energy. Colour the paper side of a gum wrapper black and cut in four pieces. Stick the pieces to each side of a match stick with the shiny sides all facing the same way. Wrap a thread around a pencil and attach to the match stick. Suspend in the jar and place in a sunny location. The radiometer will turn as it absorbs energy.
