A thermometer measures air temperature and is made of glass tubes filled with alcohol or mercury. There are three main types: clinical, lab, and digital. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure and comes in mercury or aneroid models. An anemometer measures wind speed. A hygrometer, also called a psychrometer, measures humidity. A wind vane indicates wind direction, while a rain gauge measures rainfall amounts over time.
