Short summary
Compact all-in-one weather stations (AiOWS) were evaluated long-term against World Meteorological Organization (WMO)-grade Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) for performance, durability, and degradation. Six AiOWS models were tested in lab and test field without servicing. Temperature accuracy remained strong, while humidity, wind, and precipitation data degraded due to sensor drift and wear. Failure took between 0.5 and 13 years. With maintenance, AiOWS can approach WMO Class A/B reliability.
