 INTRODUCTION

A weather monitoring system is a specialized system designed to collect, analyse, and report weather
data from various sources. It typically includes a network of sensors, instruments, and communication
systems that work together to gather data related to temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and
direction, precipitation, and other weather parameters.
The various sensors we will be using in our weather monitoring system are as follows :
 DHT11 temperature & humidity sensor
 BMP280 Atmospheric pressure sensor
 Ml8511 UV sensor
Weather prediction systems, also known as weather forecasting systems, are sophisticated tools that use
a combination of data analysis, numerical models, and algorithms to predict future weather conditions.
These systems analyze various atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind
speed, and precipitation, to generate forecasts that help us understand what the weather is likely to be
in the coming hours, days, or even weeks.

 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION :
The weather monitoring system can be developed by carefully interfacing the
sensors with the ESP32 development board for weather data collection. The
weather monitoring system can be easily developed . The major issue is
developing a machine learning model for prediction of the future weather
conditions . The field of weather prediction has seen significant advancements
with the application of machine learning models. Several studies have explored
the use of machine learning methods in weather prediction, and different models
have been evaluated for their effectiveness in improving the accuracy and
reliability of weather forecasts.
.
 OBJECTIVES:

Based on the research gaps in the previous works, we have identified our
problem statement.
In this paper, we shall be showcasing the design of a weather prediction sytem
that:
1. Works on a limited dataset with select features by the selection of relevant
features and elimination of irrelevant and redundant ones to increase
prediction accuracy and avoid over fitting of the training data.
2. Works on real-time weather data to increase the accuracy of the predictions.
3. Testing various machine learning models to find the one with highest
accuracy for weather predictions
