Imagine a country where every school/college/university monitors weather (temperature, humidity, light intensity, rainfall, wind speed/direction, atmospheric pressure, air quality, etc.) we can get very accurate ground-level data. Here is an invitation to make a DIY IoT Micro weather station project.
Building an IOT Micro Weather Station
Since a weather station has to monitor several parameters, we will make separate project pages for each sub-system.
How will a micro-weather station could look like?
Here is a picture of one that we recently made.
The Interface of the above weather station
Weather Parameters which could be measured:
Temperature
Humidity
Light Intensity
Atmospheric Pressure
Rainfall
Wind Speed
Wind Direction
Particulate matter and any others.
How many parameters the station could read depends on howmany sensors you could lay hands on.
You can use Arduino or Raspberry pi or any other computing platform (Arduino is mostly preferred due to its low cost).
At any point, if you need help, or have any question, please reply to this post below.

A weather station is a facility, either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate. The measurements taken include temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation amounts. Wind measurements are taken with as few other obstructions as possible, while temperature and humidity measurements are kept free from direct solar radiation, or i...
The Internet of things (IoT) describes devices with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks. The Internet of things encoumpasses electronics, communication and computer science engineering. Internet of things has been considered a misnomer because devices do not need to be connected to the public internet, they only need to be connected to a network, including u...
So lets start the making!

Please provide list of materials and possibly frugal based ones that can be easily bought from local market.
