A meteorological station monitors and records atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation, to provide data for weather forecasting, climate study, and environmental monitoring.
Weather is measured using instruments like rain gauges, thermometers, barometers, anemometers, and hygrometers at meteorological stations to track temperature, pressure, wind speed, and humidity, providing data for analysis and forecasting.
Weather forecasts are prepared by analyzing data from meteorological stations, satellites, and computer models to predict future atmospheric conditions based on observed patterns and trends.
A weather station typically contains meteorological instruments like thermometers, barometers, anemometers, hygrometers, rain gauges, and sometimes pyranometers, which measure temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, humidity, rainfall, and solar radiation, respectively.
A weather station is a facility either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate conditions.

Weather observation begun in the 1890s in Kenya along the coastal region and mainly focused on rainfall measurements. These were done by individual settlers and organizations like the Kenya-Uganda railway at the time. The first standard meteorological station was started in 1926 under the British East Africa Meteorological Department
