Temperature
Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Humidity
Precipitation
Clouds
Special Instruments
Thermometer 
Measures the degree of hotness or coldness of a given substance
Maximum-Minimum Thermometer 
Temperature refers to the degree of hotness and coldness
Unit of measurement is usually in degree Celsius/centigrade
Thermograph
An instrument that records air temperature continuously on graphing paper
Mercural Barometer
A simple barometer made by filling a glass tube 32 inches long with mercury
Aneroid Barometer 
Made by removing the air from a thin, circular, metallic box
Barograph 
A recording barometer
Sling Psychrometer 
Used to measure both the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures at time
Hygrometer 
An instrument used to measure the amount of water vapor in air, in soil, or in confined spaces
Hygrothermograph
Records both relative humidity and temperature on graph paper
8-inch Rain guage
The inside diameter of the collector is exactly 8 inches above a funnel that conducts rain into a cylindrical measuring tube or receiver
Tipping-bucket rain gauge 
A type of rainfall recording instrument. It is an upright cylinder that has funnel-shaped collector
Ceiling light projector 
Projects vertically a narrow beam of light on to a cloud base
Ceiling balloon 
Another way of determining the height of the cloud base. A meteorological balloon whose rate of ascent has been predetermined
Pilot Balloon/Theodolite 
A meteorological balloon that is filled with gas lighter than air
Radiosonde 
An airborne instrument used for measuring pressure, temperature and relative humidity in the upper air
Rawin (Radio/Wind) 
Another special instrument which is short for Radar and Wind. It is an electronic device that measures pressure, temperature and humidity
Wind Finding Radar 
Determines the speed and direction of winds aloft by means of radar echoes
Weather Surveillance Radar 
Long range type which detects and tracks typhoons and cloud masses at distance of 400 kilometers or less
