 Introduction
• Here, we introduce a sophisticated online weather reporting system. Our newly
developed system enables online reporting of meteorological parameters.
• The system tracks the weather and provides live reporting of the weather
information using temperature, humidity, and rain sensors.
• Internet of Things (IOT) and cloud technologies help this system achieve its
goal.
• The aim behind the internet of things is to link various connected gadgets as
well as a device to the internet.
• A key component of the Internet of Things is weather monitoring, which entails
sensing and collecting numerous weather parameters and using them for
warnings, notifications, altering appliances as needed and long-term study.

 Existing System
 In the existing IoT-based weather monitoring system, these sensors are
equipped with data communication capabilities, enabling them to send the
collected information to a central server or cloud-based platform.
 The data is then processed and analyzed using advanced algorithms to
generate accurate weather forecasts, identify trends, and monitor changing
weather patterns.
 This system offers several advantages, including enhanced accuracy and
reliability in weather predictions, as the data is continuously updated in real
-time.
 With the capability to access weather information via web applications or
mobile devices, individuals and organizations can make informed decisions
to mitigate weather-related risks and optimize their operations.

 Proposed System
‣ The Node MCU ESP8266 project's IOT-enabled weather monitoring
system uses 4 sensors to measure 4 different weather characteristics.
‣ Due to the Node MCU ESP8266’s built-in analog to digital converter,
these 4 sensors are connected directly to the board.
‣ For weather monitoring and climate change, the weather monitoring
system provides great accuracy and dependability. It can access
current weather data and information via the internet.
‣ Through the general packet radio service (GPRS) network, this system
is capable of communication.
‣ End users need low maintenance requirements. It has the capacity to
store data and make it available to users as needed

 Module Description
• ESP8266 - Wi-Fi Module
A self-contained SOC with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, the ESP8266
Wi-Fi Module allows any microcontroller to access your Wi-Fi network.
The ESP8266 is capable of offloading all Wi-Fi networking tasks from
another application processor or hosting an application.
The ESP8266 module is a very affordable board with a sizable, constantly
expanding community.
• DHT11 (Temperature & Humidity sensor)
A straightforward and incredibly affordable digital temperature and humidity
sensor is the DHT-11.
It measures the humidity in the air using a thermistor and a capacitive
humidity sensor, and it outputs a digital signal on the data pin without the requirement
for analog input pins.

 Module Description
• BMP180 (Pressure Sensor)
High precision sensor BMP180 was created for consumer
applications. The only thing that barometric pressure is the weight of air
applied to everything.
The BMP180 sensor measures the pressure and outputs the data
digitally.
• Rain Sensor
The functioning mechanism of this sensor is similar to that of a
switch; if it rains, the switch is typically closed.
The board becomes wet when rain drops land on it makes an
operational amplifier calculation through a parallel resistance route.
