Abstract

Knowing weather news and daily temperatures have become a habit of human beings. Weather report says a lot about the day and also changes a human’s mood and approach to the day. Today, weather report is available to us with a click of a button on our favorite apps such as weather.com and others. But what about the places where people do not have an internet access? How will they be able to find out the weather and the daily forecast? To answer these questions, the technology described in this study comes into play. Solar Powered Portable Mini-Weather Station study aims at showing the current temperature, humidity, dew point and the vapor pressure of a current place using nothing but the solar power and rechargeable batteries to drive the circuit. This study is mainly aimed for places where there is no internet facilities and power facilities are very scarce. Sun being a massive source of energy, provides us the power to drive the system which then helps us to run the system without any external power. Also, weather systems need to accurate and real time, and this system provides both of them to be precise. This study also requires rechargeable batteries as it also needs to operate during the night time where sunlight is not available to power the circuit and hence these batteries will keep it working condition. Also, this study solves the problem of wherein you might not even find the temperature of the place you live.
