This project presents development of high resolution meteorological parameters measurement in a given environment with the evolution of miniaturized sensor devices coupled with wireless and wired technologies. This project presents the real-time monitoring of different environmental parameters including temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, rainfall as well as air pollution contents like co, ch4 and smoke using embedded sensors, raspberry pi3 board and  FTP server technology at low-cost.  The weather station communicates through Wi-Fi connection allowing the user to access the data remotely. An Raspberry-Pi was implemented to collect sensor data, transmission of collected data to FTP server. Acquired data from these sensors were displayed on embedded FTP web server using internet protocol and Ethernet interface which can be seen anywhere and it can be saved in external drive. Along with this all collected data has been analyzed by using ID3 and autoregressive weather forecasting algorithms for quality weather forecasting. Data gathered from the weather station was compared to a professional-grade weather station located at the same site. Results show that the low-cost weather station is a feasible option to use for site assessment purposes at a comfortable cost.
