Automatic weather stations are instruments of high operational cost. As a result, there are few places where real-time atmospheric measurements are taken Such measures can be employed to forecast a region's weather and climate, enabling decision-making in a variety of areas.Given the high importance of meteorological measurements and due to the reduced number of automatic stations, this work proposes the development of a low cost atmospheric data collection system using the Arduino Platform. In the present study, we elaborated a system composed by a set of sensors connected to an Arduino microcontroller. Wind speed, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure are the variables measured and controlled by the developed system.
