Abstract

The system proposed is an advanced solution for weather monitoring that uses
IoT to make its real time data easily accessible over a very wide range. The
system deals with monitoring weather and climate changes like temperature,
humidity, wind speed, moisture, light intensity, UV radiation and even carbon
monoxide levels in the air; using multiple sensors. These sensors send the data
to the web page and the sensor data is plotted as graphical statistics. The data
uploaded to the web page can easily be accessible from anywhere in the world.
The data gathered in these web pages can also be used for future references.
The project even consists of an app that sends notifications as an effective alert
system to warn people about sudden and drastic weather changes. For
predicting more complex weather forecast that can’t be done by sensors alone
we use an API that analyses the data collected by the sensors and predicts an
accurate outcome. This API can be used to access the data anywhere and at
any time with relative ease and can also be used to store data for future use.
Due to the compact design and fewer moving parts this design requires less
maintenance. The components in this project don’t consume much power and
can even be powered by solar panels. Compared to other devices that are
available in the market the Smart weather monitoring system is cheaper and
cost effective. This project can be of great use to meteorological departments,
weather stations, aviation and marine industries and even the agricultural
industry.

Introduction
1.1. Introduction

Monitoring weather’s condi on plays an extensive role in every person’s life.


The impact of the environment’s condi on causes numerous challenges in
various fields like agriculture, industry, construc ons as well as more other
fields. But the measured impact occurs mostly in agriculture and industry. As
we all know, agriculture perform a crucial role in India’s Economy. Almost
One fourth of India’s economy is acquired from Agriculture. Over the recent
year, smart agriculture was a debated topic in the world. In IoT [6,7], the
smart word indicates that the use of minimum parameters produces a be er
result. It reduces the use of land, water, me as well and the uses of the new
technology and science for the enhancement of crops. The security is one of
the major issues [17,18] in IoT network, lot of security techniques are
available but s ll many several possibili es to enhance the exis ng security. In
agriculture, Before the yield, the Farming process consists of several phases
and in that weather plays the most extensive role. In Gorakhpur Region, the
situa on of rain mostly happens. It is situated near the border of India
“Nepal” and Nepal is a hilly area due to which the rainy situa on occurs
mostly. Due to this situa on, the farming problem occurs due to heavy rainfall.
In this situa on, an indica on of weather’s condi on is an important aspect
before sowing or reaping the crops. Hence in this situa on, the monitoring of
weather’s condi on [8,9] would help farmers with the help of a weather
monitoring system. S It will help the farmer before reaping and sowing. In
Gorakhpur Region, the total geographical area of this region is around 3488.8
square km and cul vable land is 26428 hectares, In which the percentage of
irrigated area is 76.5 %. The main crop of this region is Paddy. The total area is
around 152655 hectares. The amount of water if became high then it will be a
problem for farmers. Because in the sowing of paddy it needs water
sufficiently but if the quan ty of water will grow then it should be a problem
for farmer. So, to remove this problem, if the weather’s condi on is known
then it will be beneficial for them. The main objec ve of our system is to
provide an indica on of whether that would be beneficial for the farmers
before sowing crops or reaping crops. In this paper.

The author in [1], proposed a robust and affordable Automatic weather
station. In this paper, the author elaborates how the weather prediction
system is becoming a crucial challenge in every Weather extreme event that
causes an adverse effect of the system on lives and property as well. Hence the
accuracy of weather data is being one of the critical challenges to enhance the
weather prediction skills and build up the resilience to effect of detrimental
weather report condition. The author describes that Uganda and various other
developing countries have looked challenges in developing timely & accurate
weather data due to scarce weathers observation. The scarce weather monitoring is
a part of the high cost of developing automatic weather situations. The restricted
funding is available to national meteorological services of the respective countries.

2nd generation depending upon the need and generation. The author provides a
suggestion to improve the non- functional requirement such a power
consumption, data accuracy, reliability, and data transmission in order to have an
Automatic Weather Station. The non-functional requirement collapsed with cost
reduction in order to produce a robust and affordable Automatic Weather
Station (AWS) Therefore the proposed work, like developing countries like
Uganda will be able to acquire the AWS in suitable quantities So that it can
improve the weather forecasting The author in [2], presents an IoT-based
weather monitoring system. In this research, the environmental parameter can be
retrieved through sensors. The author uses a different sensor to scale the various
parameter like humidity, temperature, pressure, rain value & the LDR sensor is
used. The system also calculates the dew point value from the temperature
prototype. The temperature sensor can be used to measure the value of the
particular area, room, or any place. With the help of the LDR sensor, the light
intensity can be used as described by the author . In this paper [3], the author
represents a low-cost live weather monitoring system using I2C display, in
which the author displays the various fields where the IoT has produced innovative
things in the system. The author described A new revolutionary system. Which
measures the real-time Weather's condition. The monitoring weather situation is
very much helpful for everyone either for farmer or industry or daily working
people or for school as well. So, the author by developing a live weather
monitoring system reduced the difficulty level for farmers and industry as well. In
this paper, the author uses an I2C display that will display the weather conditions
and In the proposed model, the author uses an ESP 32-EX microcontroller-based
WeMos D1 board executed on Arduino, that retrieved the data from the cloud.
WeMos D1 is a wifi module that is developed on ESP- 32EX microcontroller. It
has a 4MB flash memory. It one of the Excellent which is programmed with node
MCU and Arduino ide. After the connection, it will store the data on the cloud for
storing data a Blynk website is used to display the data regarding weather. The
system displays the data on I2C and thing speak cloud. The author's aim is to
obtain live information on weather conditions on I2C display. The author in [4],
proposed a system that monitors and predicts the weather condition by which
anyone can plan for our day-to-day life. This activity became helpful in every
field either in agriculture or industry. So as to achieve monitoring and
predicting weather info, the author uses 2 stages of the weather management
system. In which they amalgamated the information from the sensors, bus
mobility, and deep learning technology is used to allow a weather reporting system
in stations and buses in real-time. Forecasting of weather is achieved through the
friction model. Depending upon the sensing measurement from vehicles like
buses, the work incorporates the strength of local information processing. The
author talks about in stage-I, sensing of weather’s condition, multilayer perception
model and long-term memory are trained and then it will verify using
temperature data, humidity, air pressure of test environment. In Stage-II, the
training is applied to learn the time series of weather information. To get accurate
data or not, to check the system performance, the author comparing the predicted
weather data and actually obtained data from the environment Protection
Administrator and central Baeuro of Taichung observation system that
calculate the prediction of accuracy. The author finally talks about the proposed
system has reliable performance on monitoring of weather. And this model
also proposed a one-day weather forecast or prediction via the training [Link]

based weather monitoring system, in this research paper, the author describes
that how with the help of IoT technology, the weather can be monitored. And
which provide the info of climate-changing conditions. With the help of this
project, people can be aware of the climate condition changes. It gives an accurate
and efficient output and the algorithm as the swarm is used to implement for
further improving the accuracy. So, in this project, the author aims to make a
weather monitoring with the help of IoT. In this project, the hardware and software
are used which makes it easy to implement. In the project, the author uses a
different sensor to collect the information of the climate and stored it in the cloud.
