Despite the fact that these different phenomena affect our lives in many ways, it turns out that the human body is not particularly good at quantifying these characteristics. Water which feels cold to one person may feel warm to another, depending on what that person has been doing. For example, after a swim in an ice-cold lake, even water at air temperature may seem warm, whereas a person who has not been immersed in such conditions recently may consider the same water as cool.
In addition, sometimes we are simply not very good at quantifying things. An example is wind speed. We can get an impression of wind speed by how severely it blows the leaves on the trees around, but that isn't too effective in winter if there are no leaves on the trees. One can get a crude sense of direction by watching where objects are blown, or by holding a wetted finger up in the breeze and finding the orientation which produces the fastest cooling. But these methods are only approximate, and it became evident to early observers that more quantitative measuring instruments were needed.

Meteorological instruments are the equipment used to sample the state of the atmosphere at a given time. Each science has its own unique sets of laboratory equipment. meteorology, however, is a science which does not use much lab equipment bot relies more on-site observation and remote sensing equipment. In science, an observation or observable is an abstract that can be measured and for which data can be taken.
