Weather monitoring is the systematic observation and measurement of atmospheric variables to analyse and forecast present and future weather trends. It entails the use of a variety of equipment and technology, including weather stations, satellites, radar systems, and sensors, to collect data on temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and precipitation. This data is then analysed to provide weather forecasts, monitor climate trends, and give useful information for a variety of applications such as agriculture, aviation, emergency management, and environmental research. Continuous monitoring of weather conditions increases our understanding of the Earth's atmosphere as well as our capacity to predict and respond to changes in weather patterns.
Remote Weather Monitoring Kit included:
1) Gateway - SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger
2) Sensors - SenseCAP ONE S700 7-in-1 Compact Weather Sensor
3) Solar Panel - High-efficiency Waterproof PV-12W Solar Panel
Why do we need weather monitoring system?
Weather monitoring systems are crucial in Malaysia for several reasons:
Climate Adaptation: Malaysia experiences a tropical climate characterized by high humidity, frequent heavy rainfall, and intense sunlight. Accurate weather data helps communities and businesses adapt to these conditions effectively.
Disaster Preparedness: The country is prone to severe weather events such as floods and storms. Real-time monitoring systems enhance preparedness and response to such emergencies, ultimately protecting lives and property.
Long-Term Climate Studies: These systems are essential for tracking climate changes over time, supporting long-term environmental and climate research that informs policy decisions.
Resource Management: Reliable weather data supports effective resource management in agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management, optimizing the use of water and energy.
Public Awareness: Enhanced weather monitoring increases public awareness of weather conditions, helping individuals and organizations make informed decisions about safety and planning.
These systems are vital for enhancing safety, optimizing resource management, and advancing climate science.
