Abstract
This study presents an effective system for monitoring and transmitting real-time weather parameter data. The aim is to transform the conventional methods of gathering weather information, enhancing its accuracy, reliability, and accessibility. The developed System involves the use of an ESP32 microcontroller and various sensors for real time acquisition of weather parameters. The weather data is transmitted to the ThingSpeak platform for real time visualization. A prototype was developed to ascertain the effectiveness of the System. The results show that the developed System is capable of transmitting this information in real time. The accuracy of the System was also determined by comparing the acquired weather data against manually measured data. The System holds a significant potential impact across various sectors, including agriculture, disaster management, and research. Its continuous improvement and integration of emerging technologies ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness in the dynamic field of weather monitoring.
