IOT Weather Reporting System Project

Description of the project:

Arduino measures 4 weather parameters using respective 4 sensors in IOT Weather Reporting System Project. These sensors are a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor, and rain level sensor. These 4 sensors are directly connected to Arduino Uno since it has an inbuilt Analog to Digital converter. Arduino calculates and displays these weather parameters on an LCD display.

Then it sends these parameters to the Internet using IOT techniques. The process of sending data to the internet using Wi-Fi is repeated after constant time intervals. Then the user needs to visit a particular website to view this data. The IOT enabled weather monitoring system project connects and stores the data on a web server. Thus the user gets Live reporting of weather conditions. Internet connectivity or Internet connection with Wi-Fi is compulsory in this IOT weather monitoring project.

Project Cost: 8,900

Project Code: 5105

Description in Detail:

Imagine a situation where scientists/nature analysts want to monitor changes in a particular environment say a volcano or a rainforest. And these people are from different places in the world. SMS based weather monitoring has its own limitations in this case. Since it sends SMS to a few numbers. And time for sending SMS increases as the number of mobile numbers increases. In order to send this data to everyone, a person who receives this SMS can upload/add data to some place where everyone can see it. And what else apart from the Internet connects everyone in this world? However, a person doing it manually is time consuming and tedious job.

Thus there arises a need for an automated solution for this. IOT – The Internet of Things proves really effective in such scenarios. We can upload these weather parameters data to the cloud using internet connectivity over a WiFi module through wireless communication and using the Internet of Things. Thus this project is also categorized under Wireless communication projects.

Two things are necessary to view this weather report over the Internet. One is the Internet and another is a device to access a URL / website. This device can be a laptop or desktop or tablet or even a smartphone. NOTE that Internet connectivity is required at both places. One where is project is placed and another from where user monitors this data.

Applications of IOT Weather Reporting System Project

• IOT weather reporting system has an application for farmers as well. Weather forecasting plays a very important role in the field of agriculture.
• IOT weather monitoring project proves really helpful for monitoring weather at places like a volcano, and rainforests. It is quite difficult for a human being to stay for a longer time in such places. Or even areas that are exposed to radioactive leakage.

Advantages and Future enhancements

• IOT weather monitoring system project using Arduino is fully automated. It does not require any human attention.
• You can get a prior alert of the weather conditions. Suppose you are planning to visit a place and you want to know the weather parameters over that place, then you can just visit a website IOT portal.
• Future enhancements to this IOT project. As Arduino Uno has 5 Analog inputs, we can add a 5th parameter for weather monitoring.
