Remote Weather Station

I have some sets of weather sensors like humidity, wind and temperature sensors.
I want to be able to view that sensor values remotely through internet preferably in realtime. Also I want the data to be automatically logged in an internet server.
The remote location is in range of GSM and wi-max signals.
What kinds of equipment do I have to buy or make?
I was thinking of raspberry pi, but I am not sure.
Thanks.
 
If you want to get it together quickly, perhaps an Arduino with a GSM shield would be good for you.

https://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoGSMShield -- GSM adapter board; simply fits on top of the main (Uno) board

Another option would be to use an Android phone connected to a IOIO board. The phone has all the communications hardware required, and the IOIO allows you to connect to you external sensors. Having the Android system also allows you to very easily update or install new versions of your code remotely if you need to. You can do the same with the Arduino, it may be a little more involved.
