Depends on which Ambient Weather system and amount of sun.  I've not
had to change batteries in my WS-1001 in many (3 or 4 years).  I
used rechargeable (Li, I think) when I put it up ... the 1001 is
designed to charge the batteries when it gets sun.

Very affordable and the integration with Weather Underground was totally painless. You do have to change the AA batteries in the sensor every year or so; use Li batteries.
