The balloon itself usually contains devices to measure temperature, pressure and humidity.
Weather balloons and satellites
Data used to create weather maps come from different sources. Weather balloons, satellites, ship and airplane reports, and wind profiler data are also used.
It's meteorologist, and balloons are generally sent aloft by technicians or observers, not meteorologists, who analyse the data found. Data obtainable from balloons includes wind speed and direction, as well as pressure, temperature and humidity. The balloon merely carries equipment aloft, they provide no data directly, except where balloons are tracked optically by theodolite, a rarely used technique these days.
A weather balloon is something that people who study weather send up into the air to learn more about weather and find weather patterns.
A weather analyst is someone who should have ample knowledge in meteorology and is able to read and translate data collected by satellites. They should also be able to investigate weather changes, and gather information for weather forecasts and report writing purposes.
scientists gather weather data from high in the sky using weather satellites

The weather service uses sophisticated computer modelling as well as radiosonde data. They also gather data from weather stations, weather radar, satellites and statistical data.

They use satellites to gather many different types of data relating to weather systems. This can tell them which direction storms are moving - so they can warn people to be prepared, or how big a hurricane is becoming..
Weather stations gather data from the local area - satellite imagery shows the weather over a much wider area.
