This paper describes a microcontroller-based prototype Automated Weather Monitoring and Logging System that can col- lect meteorological data such as air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity, and rain detection from any distant location. The Weather Monitoring and Logging System is entirely automated, and measured weather data is transferred to a public server while showing immediate data on a liquid crystal display (LCD) and stored to a Secure Digital (SD) card. For private viewers, Android-based smart phones may be interfaced with the weather station and operated via the android application. The weather station is supplied by a direct current (DC) source, with a backup rechargeable battery. In the event of an emergency power outage, the system will immediately switch to battery power. Two Atmega 328p and Two ESP 8266 microcontrollers are utilized as the core of the control and coordination of the relative multitude of exercises of the singular modules. All of the sensors in the systems have been calibrated, ensuring that the system’s accuracy seems to be exceptional. This system will benefit all users, and it will benefit the meteorological industry because it will allow them to work from a remote location.
