Many years ago, when I was traveling in Athens, Greece, I visited this well-known archeological site known as the “Tower of the Winds”. When it was built, it had sundials, a water clock and a weather observing system, which makes it most likely the oldest weather station in the world. Today Atlas Obscura posted a story about the Tower of the Winds and brought back good memories to me. You can read more about it here.
