In the recent years, there has been a lot of interest in global climate change. People want to be aware of the most recent weather conditions in their vicinity and immediate surroundings. This study presents a prototype of an Internet of Things-based system that uses sensors to monitor weather conditions. Three separate sensors, including an ultrasonic sensor, a raindrop sensor, and a pressure sensor, were used. The microcontroller board served as the system's brain. The sensors continuously collect weather data and transmit it through Wi-Fi to a remote server. The weather data is moved to a cloud platform, which gives real-time weather informatics reporting on a website after that. The platform employed in this study was Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT, and Amazon DynamoDB was used to store sensor data. The IoT presents a novel perspective on future environmental monitoring. Consequently, the role of the Internet of Things in the developing field of environmental informatics is also covered in this study.
