Raspberry Pi Based Weather Reporting over IoT

Weather is an important factor in daily life and plays an important part in many activities like farming, industry etc. So sometimes, it may be an absolute need to know about immediate weather conditions. However, the current ways to access weather report are through television or using bulk systems, both of which are not all time available or convenient. This paper is aimed to create a prototype system that takes in account different weather factors and make them available to user by different methods. Different factors include temperature, humidity, pressure, light intensity and rainfall. The technology used in this work on IoT (Internet of Things) that makes access to weather conditions easily as the module is easy to carry around and work with. Different sensors have been used and they gather data then transmit them to Raspberry Pi which acts as a base station. It transmits data to SparkFun server using Wi-Fi which is inbuilt and processed data is displayed on server as well as on LCD screen connected to module. Overall, this work is cost effective and has low power consumption in order to save money as well as power utilization.
