The School Weather Station for Environmental Awareness

Weather forecasts are based on data collected by weather stations, satellites and radar around the globe, analyzed by meteorologists and predicted by computer models. Meteorological instruments include thermometers, hygrometers, barometers, anemometers, wind gauges, rain gauges, etc., which are used to measure temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, and precipitation.

Knowledge of meteorology in our daily life helps us to plan our activities and prevent health problems, and improve our quality of life. School meteorological science education is vital to students, not only to develop their scientific inquiry ability, but also to enhance their understanding of disaster prevention and mitigation and self-help skills, laying a foundation for their all-round development and future career. Therefore, the establishment of campus weather station has far-reaching significance.

School weather station consists of sensors, riser bracket, equipment box, LED screen, data collector, cloud platform and glass fiber reinforced plastic louver box, etc. It is able to monitor temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and other climate elements. The system provides students with climate data, supports educational activities and outdoor practice, and promotes students' interest in meteorology and the development of scientific inquiry ability.

School weather station is an IoT system combining hardware and software for real-time monitoring and statistics of environmental data. It is suitable for a wide range of environmental monitoring scenarios such as agriculture, scenic spots, airports and campuses, as well as meteorological societies in the field of education. With smart sensors and a smart cloud platform, users can view environmental information and trends in real time, and the system can also push alerts when anomalies are detected to ensure users get timely updates.
