High-Resolution and Secure IoT-Based Weather Station Design

Abstract

The pivotal role of weather information in domains such as workplace safety, economic activities, and natural disaster prevention is undeniable. This study introduces an advanced weather monitoring system designed to observe weather conditions at specific locations and make the data accessible globally. Utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology, this system connects a network of devices, including electronic gadgets and sensors, to the internet, thereby creating an interconnected web of information. The system focuses on monitoring environmental parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, pressure, and rainfall. It employs sensors to gather data, which is then transmitted to a web page and graphically represented as statistical information. The data, accessible from any location via the internet, enhances the resolution and accuracy of weather monitoring. The implementation of high-precision sensors in this system ensures the delivery of detailed and accurate meteorological data, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of local weather conditions. Additionally, the system's design allows for the easy deployment of multiple weather stations, broadening the scope of weather monitoring and providing valuable insights into microclimates and localized weather patterns. A significant feature of this system is the incorporation of a robust security framework, safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of meteorological data. This aspect is crucial for ensuring the reliability of the data for various applications, including disaster preparedness and response. Timely evacuation warnings, efficient resource allocation, and accurate damage assessment are facilitated by the real-time weather monitoring provided by this system.
