Abstract
This paper details the development of an IoT weather monitoring station that utilizes a NodeMCU microcontroller. The
station is specifically designed to accurately measure temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind speed and direction. The
data collected from multiple sensors is then transmitted via a Wi-Fi connection to a secure web server (Blynk) for
storage, analysis, and visualization on a web interface. The use of cloud-based storage enables convenient access to the
data from any location through the Blynk application on an Android phone. This system proposal presents a cost-
effective and versatile solution for weather monitoring that can be deployed in various locations. Additionally, the
device's low power consumption makes it ideal for integration with solar panels. In summary, this intelligent weather
monitoring system offers precise measurements and holds potential in diverse sectors such as agriculture,
transportation, and environmental monitoring.
