Digital Wind Speed Direction and Monitoring System

Abstract

Weather station in the university, school and backyard can help the students and employees, farmer to be aware of their surroundings and help them be prepared. This research aim to set up and run the weather station, data acquisition and data presentation for wind speed and wind direction. We used an experimental method. For this project we used IR sensors for the anemometer and wind vane which were compatible with Arduino Nano microcontroller for data collection. Once the data is logged, it will deliver the data to the recipient every hour with the highest peak speed of wind speed. It also sent an alarm, if it reached at the critical level of 61 kilometers per hour for wind speed. The integrated weather station was fully implemented and the results of the maximum wind speed were recorded last September20, 2019 at 43.22 Kph and for the wind direction at 225° SW. The developed integrated weather station for wind speed and wind direction historical data can be significant to the disaster risk reduction and management team of the university to plan for the school activities for the safety and security of the employees, students and school properties.
