If it's just to educate yourself, you could do a lot worse than have a
go at linking to a hobbyist weather station for example from
http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/ .  If you get one with a PC
interface using the WD2300 chip set, you can use Open2300 (
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Open2300/UserGuide ) to
interrogate the station from your linux system.  There are various
other open-source projects to interface with other weather stations,
for example from Oregon Scientific.  A weather station makes a good
project because you need to think about how you will handle the
various different kinds of data.

Cheers,

Jim
