weather station
A facility with instruments for measuring meteorological data such as temperature, air pressure, and precipitation in order to observe and forecast the weather.
Die Daten der Wetterstation auf dem Berggipfel werden stündlich aktualisiert.
The data from the weather station on the mountain peak is updated hourly.
This noun is a simple compound of 'das Wetter' (the weather) and 'die Station' (the station). The meaning is therefore directly understandable: a station for the weather.
Die neue Wetterstation kann auch die Luftqualität messen.
The new weather station can also measure air quality.
In connection with a weather station, verbs are often used that describe its function. Typical ones are: Daten 'erfassen' (to record data), 'sammeln' (to collect), 'messen' (to measure), or 'übertragen' (to transmit).
Die Wetterstation erfasst rund um die Uhr die Temperatur und die Windgeschwindigkeit.
The weather station records the temperature and wind speed around the clock.
To describe the location, you use 'an der Wetterstation' (at the weather station). If data comes from there, it is 'von der Wetterstation' (from the weather station). If the station is located on a specific object, you say 'auf der Wetterstation' (on the weather station).

weather service
'Wetterdienst' and 'Wetterstation' both belong to the topic of weather forecasting. A 'Wetterdienst' is the organization that collects and evaluates weather data and publishes forecasts or warnings. The word can also mean the information itself, that is, the weather report. A 'Wetterstation', on the other hand, is the place or facility with measuring instruments that measure data such as temperature, rain, or air pressure. The words are easy to confuse because both work with weather data. Remember: the weather station measures; the weather service evaluates the data and provides information.
