If you don't have good inet in the field to look at sfc obs I would recommend something like this: Kestrel Pocket Weather Meter along with a good compass that you can pair with it to determine wind speed direction. Some of the higher end Kestrels will have built in compass. Mine doesn't, but then again I just use that as a backup really. So far I've had extremely reliable internet which gives me surface obs usually to about 5-10 minutes in accuracy.
