Revolutionizing Weather Monitoring: Wireless Connectivity for Smart Weather Stations


Abstract


Since climate monitoring is crucial to human existence, gathering time-varying dynamic data on climate change is crucial. A large portion of human knowledge about the Earth's ecology is derived from data gathered by satellites in addition to physical isolation from the natural world. On the other hand, in situ systems are site-specific, physically valid, and essential for adjusting and validating climate measurements. However, commercial data loggers with expensive, unavailable data are frequently the only devices with field choices nowadays. Weather Chimes provides near-field information (such as light, temperature, relative humidity, and soil information) and is an open source, low-cost hardware and software package for Arduino programming that may be used anywhere there is an Internet of Things (IoT). Any device or equipment that provides us with information about the weather and our surroundings might be considered a weather station. Anything that gathers meteorological information about the environment around us, such as temperature, pressure, air quality, and precipitation totals, is called a weather monitoring station. Temperature allows us to determine additional characteristics, including dew point. In this paper, a weather monitoring system is developed using sensors (temperature, pressure, air quality and rainfall) which are interconnected with Node MCU and IoT that gives reliable values of rainfall, temperature, pressure and air quality of coordinates (15.7981° N, 78.0784° E).
