For a fully certified basic weather station you are looking at $250k-$350k.
That includes;
- Wind speed and direction
- Cloud base
- Visibility
- RH %
- DP
- QNH
- site works and install
Add $60k a year for BOM TAF/METAR services.

Depends of you want it available via the internet, phone and or VHF.
Could do it moderately cheap over the web accessible by iPhone etc non approved, non certified.
If you are talking VHF you'll obviously need an icom base station or similar, capable of 24x7 transmission, so add over a grand to your weather station costs.
If you don't need rainfall or cloud over it should be fairly accurate and useful and not ridiculously expensive.
Some of them allow you to phone into them too, but then you are talking phone rental too.
