    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

    Weather and climate are among the foremost factors which determine how a society
    develops in geographical region. Weather usually describes the particular event or condition
    for the short period of time such as hours or days whereas climate refers to the behavior of
    the atmosphere to a place over many years. On the other hand, weather includes current
    atmospheric conditions such as the temperature, precipitation, humidity and the wind while
    climate describes the general weather conditions of a certain area over a long period of time.

    Weather data are important in our daily life. The data collected such as rainfall and
    temperature can be used to serve as a precautionary measure to against natural calamity or
    disaster such as flood and drought. Besides that, it is important for others to plan the works.
    For example, in the construction industry, the weather data is important for a project manager
    to plan their schedule so that the project will complete on time. The weather data collected
    for a long period are use to predict the climate change in future trends. The weather data
    collected for the past decade can be used to analysis in order to identify the pattern of climate
    change.

    Weather station is one of the devices to collect the weather data. The weather data
    such as precipitation, humidity, temperature, and wind speed can be collected by using this
    device. The usage of weather station is increasing popularity among the nation.

    Weather station is a device that can update the weather data in a more quickly and
    frequent way. It can collect the data in minute or hourly based on the setting mode. The user
    can change the setting mode according to the purpose of the project respectively. Weather
    station has now been increasingly accepted as the technology that facilities faster and more
    up to date monitoring of the earth atmosphere system. In particular, it is becoming
    increasingly important in the study of hydrology pattern.

    1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

    Human activity is influenced by weather conditions, monitoring of weather conditions


    can help in controlling the activity. The weather change is not same at the Gambang area and
    the nearest place. It is important to monitor and study the pattern of weather at surrounding.
    The pattern and trend of weather at Gambang and closed area can be identify by making
    analysis study of hydrological data from hydrological station.

    1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

    The objectives of this study are as following:

    i. To compare the different between rainfall data collect by using rain guage and
    weather station in Kolej Kediaman 2 in UMP Gambang.
    ii. To determine the trend of rainfall event at UMP Gambang.

    1.4 SCOPES OF STUDY

    i. The study will conduct at Kolej Kediaman 2 at UMP Gambang.


    ii. This study will focus to collect the data such as wind speed, temperature and rainfall
    data.
    iii. Analyze the hydrological data from JPS hydrological station with hydrological data
    collected used weather station at UMP Gambang.
    iv. Develop temporal pattern for selected hydrology station.

    1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF STUDY

    This study can help many future construction company and future researchers for
    planning their schedule to complete their project on the time and avoid delay in construction
    process. All the result result collected in this study will be compile and a weather database for
    UMP can be recorded. The study also can identify the rainfall pattern of Gambang area.
