The American Basic Science Club was one of the main forces in my youth that sent me toward Science and Engineering. I first saw an ad in the back of a comic book around 1971 and begged my parents to let me join. By that time the club offered 10 kits delivered one a month that taught electronics, optics, computers, nuclear physics, and weather. The weather station was released as a stand-alone product seen here (as was the Atomic Energy Lab). I actually bought four partial kits in the hope of assembling two complete kits. The weather station includes a remote reading wind vane and anemometer (assembled ones below are left over from my youth), a rain gauge, a barometer, and a sling psychrometer (tells humidity). Below the kits is a scan of an original club flyer from the early 60s (when there were only 8 monthly kits) and a photo of my original kit manuals which I saved from my youth.

This is the earlier, 1962 Weather Station. The box actually contains unopened parts from two different copies.
