CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Project: This project presents a Weather Monitoring
System developed in C++. The system is designed to record,
process, and display weather data, such as temperature, humidity,
and atmospheric pressure, collected at regular intervals. It provides a
simple, real-time solution to monitor and log weather conditions,
useful in fields like agriculture, transportation, and environmental
science.
1.2 Identification of Problem: With climate change increasing the
frequency of extreme weather, real-time and accurate weather data is
essential. Existing solutions are often costly or require advanced
technical expertise. This project aims to provide a cost-effective,
efficient, and user-friendly weather monitoring system for
communities and individuals.

CHAPTER 2. BACKGROUND STUDY


2.1 Existing Solutions: Currently, several weather monitoring
systems exist, including commercial products and open-source
projects. These systems collect real-time weather data but often
require specialized equipment and may be expensive to implement.
Examples include IoT-enabled devices and APIs, which are accurate
but may not be feasible for small-scale users.
2.2 Problem Definition: There is a need for an affordable and easy-
to-use weather monitoring system that can provide reliable, real-time
weather data for general users without requiring advanced hardware.
2.3 Goals/Objectives:

The objectives of this project are as follows:


1. To design a weather monitoring system using C++ that reads
temperature, humidity, and pressure data.
2. To enable data storage, retrieval, and basic data analysis.
3. To make the system user-friendly and cost-effective.
R

CHAPTER 3. DESIGN FLOW/PROCESS


3.1 Evaluation & Selection of Specifications/Features:
The project involves the selection of suitable sensors and
components to collect weather data. Features selected include
temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors compatible with C++
for data collection and basic analysis.
3.2 Analysis of Features and Finalization Subject to Constraints:
The system requirements were evaluated based on accuracy, ease of
programming in C++, and cost constraints. A modular design was
chosen to ensure scalability, enabling easy integration of additional
sensors if needed.
3.3 Design Flow: The design flow includes:-
1. Sensor data acquisition and calibration.
2. Data processing and storage.
3. Display of processed data on a user interface.
A flowchart illustrating the data acquisition, processing, and display
is provided in Photo.
R

CHAPTER 4. RESULTS ANALYSIS AND VALIDATION


4.1 Implementation of Solution: The weather monitoring system
was implemented in C++ using modules for data acquisition,
processing, and display. The system successfully recorded
temperature, humidity, and pressure data and presented it in a user-
friendly format. Validation tests confirmed that the system provides
accurate readings within the acceptable error range of sensors used.

CHAPTER 5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK


5.1 Conclusion: The C++-based Weather Monitoring System
achieved the goal of providing an affordable, efficient, and accurate
solution for real-time weather data collection. This project
demonstrates the potential for developing standalone weather
monitoring systems using simple and accessible technology.

5.2 Future Work: Future improvements include:


1. Adding support for more environmental sensors (e.g., rainfall, wind
speed).
2. Integrating data logging and visualization software for advanced
analysis.
3. Connecting the system to cloud storage for remote monitoring.
