Efficient Design of a Low Cost Portable Weather Station

This paper presents the implementation of Arduino weather station that was designed so that people can monitor real time weather data using this weather station. The weather has a vital role in people's mental and physical health. People tend to catch severe diseases when they face difficulties to match up with the weather they are surrounded with. For this, we always need to get updated with the current weather states. And weather station, in this case, made our lives way easier in getting weather readings easily. We can easily get to know about the weather components like temperature, pressure, humidity and wind speed etc. from a weather station. App based weather stations are quite popular nowadays but, they cannot provide real-time values. And for all these reasons, we wanted to come up with this portable Arduino weather station which is able to measure the real values of temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed. The model contains sensors which are able to give very precise data as were used as the device has to deal with the real and changing values. The main focus was to keep the weather station simple, cheap and user-friendly. So, the wind speed sensor (anemometer) was custom made. And finally, the weather station worked successfully and flawless.
