Weather Monitoring System
Weather Monitoring System
The Climate is one of the most important factors in our life. Currently there are two types of
weather monitoring stations available i.e. wired and wireless. Wireless has some advantages
over wired one hence wireless has became popular nowadays. .There is various techniques that
are used to monitor the weather like satellites, radars, microcontrollers, remote wireless
sensors and many other simple instruments. The advanced development in wireless sensor
networks can be used for monitoring various parameters in the environment. Zigbee is the
latest wireless weather monitoring technique. The proposed system develops Sensor
Networking and Weather Station Monitoring System without human intervention using
Wireless Zigbee Technology. A WMS keeps track of temperature, humidity, wind speed and
direction, rainfall amount etc and the system displays these readings on a display. This data
can be displayed in LCD. The existing Systems for Weather Monitoring are manual. We need
human support for that. There are limitations for human to know about exceeding hazardous
parameters of Environment and there are chances of human errors like human calculations
may not be precise sometimes or human may not cover larger area. Hence in this application,
Wireless sensor network can solve the problem, where parameters calculations and controlling
will be precise even over the larger area.
OBJECTIVES
• The main aim of this is to derive the statistical information about the abnormal geological
and atmospheric conditions and send data to weather stations.
• This is also targeted towards the reliability of the Pollution Monitoring system.
• It is useful for the greenhouse environment monitoring, alerting and controlling various
parameters.
• It is also useful for irrigation in the agricultural field.

WORKING:
The Proposed System design consists of transmitter as well as receiver. The Proposed
block diagram of transmitter and receiver is shown in fig.1. Transmitter section consist of
different type of sensing unit such as temperature, humidity, rain quantity measurement, wind
direction, wind flow as well as the sun intensity. Microcontroller for time domain multiplexing
i.e. multiplexing the data obtained from different type of sensor as well as for converting the
analog data into digital one. The proposed hardware of this system includes LPC2148,
Temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind flow, rain drop and Sun intensity measurement
sensors, LCD. The system is low cost &low power consuming so that anybody can afford it.
The data monitored is collected at the server. It can be used in precision farming.
ADVANTAGES
• It has low cost
• It reduces manpower
• It is Accurate system
• It helps in faster Data transfer
• Requires less time
• Low power consumption
• Weather can be monitored from remote place.
APPLICATIONS
• It is used in Weather Stations.
• It is used for Agrigultural field.
