ANALYSIS OF REAL TIME WEATHER MONITORING SYSTEM USING THINGSPEAK

Global warming has led to drastic changes in precipitation, temperature and wind patterns across the globe, leading to unpredictable weather. This necessitates the need to observe and analyze climatic changes and thus enable accurate prediction of weather patterns. A low cost and user-friendly Real Time Weather Monitoring System (RTWMS) has been designed and developed that monitors and analyzes the environmental parameters like temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, rain, atmospheric gasses and wind speed using DHT11, BME280, Raindrop sensor, MQ02 and wind speed sensors respectively. MicroPython is the software interface for the sensors connected to the ESP32 board and the data thus acquired is posted to the cloud using ThingSpeak. Thus, users have access to real-time weather data across the globe. The system, realized successfully, is a solution for remote weather monitoring that uses multiple sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) and facilitates remote access to data from equipment deployed in geographical areas that are out of bounds for a civilian.
