Low Cost Sensor Based Portable Local Weather Station

The aim of this project is to build a low– cost, yet reliable, weather monitoring system capable of acquiring and recording data. The measurement of weather parameters – temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity locally is not only important in environmental or weather monitoring but also crucial for many Industries, including energy, agriculture, forestry, power generation, mining, petrochemicals and tourism. It is also needed in monitoring urban growth and transportation. The proposed system is a portable and low–cost local weather monitoring system that has three sensors that measures the temperature, relative humidity and pressure, respectively.
