  Tutorials and How-To Guides Setting Up a Basic Weather Station Hardware Requirements : Temperature sensor (e.g., DHT22) Humidity sensor Wind speed and direction sensor Microcontroller (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino) Power supply and cables Steps to Set Up : Assemble the sensors and connect them to the microcontroller. Install open-source software like OpenWeatherMap . Configure the software to read data from sensors. Use IoT platforms like ThingSpeak to display and store data. Code Example : (Python) python Copy Edit import Adafruit_DHT sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT22 pin = 4 humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin) print ( f"Temp: {temperature} °C Humidity: {humidity} %" ) Integrating IoT Technology Use ESP8266 or ESP32 boards for Wi-Fi-enabled weather monitoring. Tutorial: ESP8266 IoT Weather Station . Benefits: Monitor your weather station remotely via smartphone or computer. Visualizing Weather Data Use Grafana for dashboards: Connect your data s...
