IoT-Based Weather Information Prototype Using WeMos

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the newest internet revolution that continuously streams live data on the status of the entire planet, including things like humidity, temperature, thunderstorms, earthquakes, floods, etc. which could endanger human life. Weather forecasting is to predict the upcoming weather. Weather forecasting is critical in Internet World for several reasons, including the fact that it can save lives and be helpful during natural disasters like floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes.  These natural calamities can be foreseen using weather forecasting. Our study suggests a low-cost weather informative and monitoring system that displays the output on an OLED display and retrieves the weather information for any place via a cloud database management system. This proposed method (system) is constructed on the Arduino platform and employs a WeMos D1 board with an ESP8266-EX microcontroller to retrieve data from the cloud. The designed methodology turns an IoT device, the WeMos D1, into a real-time weather station by connecting it to the internet and using numerous cloud services, including Wunderground & ThingSpeak, to collect data and display the weather on an OLED. The paper's main goal is to provide access to current data from any station while allowing users to view weather conditions anywhere. We tested the weather in Solapur City (MS), India on January 2023, and the findings we saw on our OLED monitor. We display the last three days' Weather data which is predicted and calculated by the system.
