| Abstract | During recent years, weather is becoming a prime interest in climate change issues. Nowadays, the need of weather monitoring instruments for real - time monitoring, alarming and reporting the varying environmental conditions has become very essential. In this study, the smart sensors have been selected and integrated to monitor the weather parameters. The alarming system has been developed through a smartphone application which sends the alert messages based on the condition of the weather at that location. The AWS - Solar [Automatic Weather Station - Solar] will be powered by using solar energy, further the change in the weather is observed on a web platform. An alert system is developed to indicate the sudden changes in the weather. The real - time graphical charts are display ed on the smartphone application. The hourly, daily, weekly and monthly patterns of weather parameters are also shown using graphs. The upper and lower threshold values were fixed in the application for individual parameters. The real - time alerts are shown on the smartphone screen. The real time alert messages are also shown in twitter using react application which will compare the conditions and gives real time alerts. The evaluation tests includes; checking whether the prototype has been constructed correctly or not. Furthermore, testing the prototype in real - life scenarios and to check the performance of the developed system both quantitatively and qualitatively in comparison to other existing weather systems. |
