Abstract

This manuscript mainly focuses on the development of a model weather station to measure weather data: temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, speed, and rainfall. This type of weather station has been designed to perform unmanned measurement of weather data. The measured data is wirelessly transmitted to the remote station for logging and displays the information to different smart gadgets. This wireless connectivity has been planned using Wi-Fi connections which establishes mesh network for reliable data communication. Furthermore, our consistent outputs do help the dwellers to take necessary precautions.
