Introduction:-
In the modern era, the Internet of Things (IoT) is
revolutionizing how we interact with devices and solve real-world problems.
Our project, "Weather Monitoring and Alert System," aims to provide real-
time weather updates and predictive alerts for rain to help users make
informed decisions. The project was developed as part of the IBM IoT Skill
Workshop, where we gained hands-on experience in IoT, sensors, and
artificial intelligence.
Background
Why is Weather Monitoring Important?
Weather monitoring systems are crucial for agriculture, transportation,
disaster management, and daily activities. They provide essential data to
predict and manage environmental conditions effectively. However,
existing solutions often pose challenges such as high costs, complexity, and
limited accessibility.
Addressing the Challenges

Our project leverages affordable IoT components and user-friendly
platforms to create an economical and accessible weather monitoring
system. This solution benefits individuals and organizations by delivering
actionable insights in real-time.
Workshop Insights
The project was developed during the IBM IoT Skill Workshop, where we:
- Explored the fundamentals of IoT sensors and their various types.

- Learned about practical applications of IoT in daily life.
Proposed Work
Objective
To create a real-time weather monitoring system that:
- Measures temperature and humidity in a specific area.

- Detects the likelihood of rain using a rain detection sensor.
- Sends alerts via Gmail and SMS in case of rain.
