Weather may be the most fundamental experience we have of the natural
world. Every day we make decisions based on present and near-future environmental
conditions: Do I need a coat? Should I bring an umbrella? Can I
bicycle to work, or do I need to catch the train?
You Don’t Have to Be a Weatherman to
Measure the Weather
We put a lot of effort into controlling how the weather affects us. We build
structures that shield us from rain, snow, wind, and sun. We create all sorts
of specialty textiles, and use them in complex garments to protect ourselves
from the elements when we go outdoors. And we use lots of electricity to
power systems that keep us comfortably warm or cool, as well as devices
that put moisture into the air or suck it dry.
Weather is so important to our personal and economic well-being that a
government agency is devoted to doing nothing but predicting and tracking
the weather and keeping the public informed. One of the most popular channels
on cable TV devotes almost every hour of every day to reporting nothing
but weather. Dozens of computer, smartphone, and tablet apps exist to do
one thing: hook us into the latest info about the weather.
In other words, it’s high time makers take on some independent monitoring
of the weather. With Arduino, we can measure the basics: temperature, humidity,
and dew point. Further, we can collect these measurements over
time to create a weather record by saving the data to an SD card, using the
Ethernet shield’s SD card slot.
