Weather instruments are used to measure and record the weather. Weather instruments can be found in weather stations on land. The Met Office has hundreds of weather stations all over the UK. Weather instruments are also found at sea. They are found on some ships, but mainly on weather buoys designed to monitor weather and sea conditions.
