Internet of Things-Based Remote Weather Forecasting System Using Legacy Sensors

Due to the rapid changes in the Earth’s climate, reliable weather forecasting is becoming increasingly challenging. Therefore, Weather Monitoring Systems are utilized to monitor the ever-changing weather patterns. The data gathered by such devices is used to forecast weather as well as keep a log of the environmental changes at a place. Such data is extremely useful in the study of earth and analyzing the changing climatic and environmental conditions at a place. Further, the data and analytics so collected can be utilized in a variety of applications like agriculture, geology, mining, and weather forecast. This paper describes an innovative method for monitoring the weather and making the findings of such monitoring accessible to individuals in other areas of the world. This is made possible by a technology known as the "Internet of Things", which is a highly developed and efficient method of connecting physical objects to the internet and connecting everything in the world to a single network. The proposed system uses the temperature, pressure, and rain sensors to monitor the ambient conditions of weather. The sensed information is then transmitted to a server for data logging, which logs and represents the collected sensor data. The updated information from the current system is available online and viewed using user interface. When compared to existing weather monitoring system, the proposed method includes data logging facility to view the information accurately using IoT technology.
