Depends on your definition of "nice." The Admiral, bless her heart, surprised me with an Oregon Scientific WMR-918 one Christmas. Wonderful idea. Too bad OS' Chinese manufacturer didn't spend a few pennies more here-and-there on the transducers. The outside hygrometer was painfully slow and never would hit 100%. The rain gauge was very tricky to calibrate. The anemometer was a joke from day 1. Several years later: The outside thermometer/hygrometer stopped working altogether. A year later the rain gauge stopped reporting. Oddly enough: The anemometer and wind direction stuff is still working, and those are the sensors that usually go first.
If you want something for idle amusement that'll kinda give you a rough idea of what's happening outside (cue hanging rope joke): A cheap weather station is okay. But don't expect anything too accurate or too long-lived.
