Description
Weather forecasting is the science of weather prediction in advance. Weather forecasting is vital in the online world for various reasons, including saving people's lives and assisting when natural disasters occur. Weather forecasting can predict natural disasters. If we provide more warnings, people will be better prepared for upcoming crises. The weather may significantly impact our everyday lives; we would have been in great danger if we did not receive timely weather information. It can potentially affect sports, outdoor activities, farming, navigation, transportation, etc. Farmers are more susceptible to weather risks because agricultural processes like soil preparation, planting, irrigation, harvesting, and crop storage are dependent on weather conditions. Thus, IoT-based weather forecasting technology will provide crucial weather predictions to farmers, who can then utilize the knowledge to protect the crop and higher yields. This book provides a brief overview of recent and ongoing developments in real-time meteorological data collection via wireless techniques. The sensors, controllers, wireless modules, wireless protocols, gateways, and IoT cloud platforms are briefly addressed. Remote sensing technology has opened the door for real-time weather data processing, revolutionizing how information is collected, analyzed, and stored to provide accurate weather forecasts. Wireless weather station monitors environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, wind direction, solar radiation, and light intensity. Since the world is developing so rapidly, climate change and weather parameter monitoring have recently received much attention. The future of IoT technology is exciting and ever-changing. The IoT is expected to be greatly supported by major technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), 5G technology, Edge Computing, Blockchain, Smart Cities, Traffic Management, Voice-activated IoT devices, Metaverse, Digital Twins, and Digital Healthcare. Predictions for the future of the IoT suggest that it will revolutionize various sectors like industry, logistics, transportation, healthcare, and agriculture.
