A device for weather monitoring through measuring, processing and recording is developed to monitor and display the atmospheric temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed. The aim is to design and implement mobile weather monitoring system that can be remotely used. The materials that were used including: Anemometer (wind speed sensor), DHT11 (temperature and relative humidity sensor), MPX5100AP (pressure sensor), LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) for light intensity 16x2 LCD (Liquid Cristal Display), a microcontroller, and a Memory Card (MMC). At the end, a weather monitoring system was implemented and it was used to monitor five weather parameters and store in the memory Card. Keywords: Weather Monitoring. Sensors, Mobile, Microcontroller, Light Intensity, Atmospheric Temperature, Atmospheric Pressure, Relative Humidity, Solar Radiation and Wind Speed Memory Card (MMC) 1. Introduction Weather Monitoring System (WMS) is a device help to keep track of weather parameters. Before now, people have been carrying out the same objectives using different devices, such as satellite, radar until the modern method which is the application of microcontrollers. The device has units as microcontroller, Liquid Crystal Display, power source and parameters from sensors will be processed by microcontroller display on LCD and store in external memory for future purposes. Weather monitoring system is having much usefulness particularly in Communication, Transportation and Agriculture. In Agriculture for example, weather plays a major role in determining the success of agricultural pursuits. Most field crops are dependent solely upon weather to provide life-sustaining water and energy. Livestock are also dependent upon weather for their comfort and food supplies. The connections among weather, climate, and food production have long been recognized and studied. Over the last several decades, it has become increasingly clear that human activities such as fossil- fuel combustion and deforestation are changing the Earth’s climate (IPCC 2013). It is likewise clear that these changes have affected and will continue to affect human society, natural ecosystems, and managed ecosystems (IPCC 2013). An extensive body of evidence shows that climate change will continue to have direct and indirect effects on food production throughout the next century [2]. Climate and weather have demonstrable effects on food prices, transportation infrastructure, and the costs and operations of food distributors, affecting food access and stability. Food access is strongly influenced by additional factors outside of the food system, such as household income. The adaptive capacity of food access to changes in climate is potentially very high but varies enormously between high-income and low income countries and individuals, between urban and rural populations, and the ways in which each of these develops in the future [1].

Abstract: Stored data and records of weather parameter like temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, wind
speed measured remotely by using appropriate sensors is important in environmental, weather monitoring and many industrial
processes. A device for weather monitoring through measuring, processing and recording is developed to monitor and display
the atmospheric temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed. The aim is to design and
implement mobile weather monitoring system that can be remotely used. The materials that were used including: Anemometer
Surface Temperature (SST) etc. The system can be modified
to help farmers find out the best time for each crop and
specific climatic conditions for proper pest control.
