In many respects it depends on your son's age, skilss and what is the main purpose of the exercise.
Personally I would go for a fine offset station - mounted correctly (which may involve making tall folding/collapsing poles etc) connected to a raspberry pi. This would ensure weather data gathering would start quickly and also provide a station to use for comparisons if you decided to build your own. As already said keeping any electronics dry outside is an issue in itself for the self fabricators.
