Marek, Our club has a weather station by Ambient Weather which is a few years old. It is interfaced with Weather Underground's WunderMap. I was the one who bought and installed it with some club volunteers.
https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KLAMANDE128#history The sensor is mounted on our flag pole about 125 feet from the display. It is essentially line of sight through a large glass window. The radio communication between the sensor and the display in our bar has been very reliable. However, it drops its internet connection every now and then. Perhaps an issue with our network. We solved the internet connection issue by plugging the display into a smart plug. Whenever it drops the internet and there's no one around to do a hard reset, one of our members turns it off then on from his cell phone. So, I can vouch for weather stations from Ambient Weather although I think other brands are also good. Here's a link to Weather Underground's weather station buying guide. Perhaps you'll find it helpful. https://www.wunderground.com/pws/buying-guide -- Dennis C.
