Weather measurement system help humans to understand natural phenomena and adapt to the environment. As technology develops, weather measurement tools and methods are growing rapidly. New sensors and methods continue to grow for the better in terms of ease of use, accuracy, and cost efficiency. But on the other hand, the energy consumption is not always better than conventional methods. The current technological developments also allow data collection using Automated Weather Station (AWS) such as the use of radio frequency technology and the internet. The internet allows access to real-time data of weather measurements in the world. Therefore, this study will develop weather station system that includes temperature and humidity sensor, wind speed sensor with anemometer cup, wind direction sensor with wind vane, and rainfall sensor with tipping-bucket rain gauge. This weather station will be connected via LoRa radio waves with base stations connected to the internet. Weather station system is not directly connected to the internet because in general weather stations are placed in the field which is difficult to get internet access. Base station can be placed in an easy place to get internet access. In this study can be obtained weather measurement data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall. This paper summarizes the results of accurate, precise, and real-time weather station system.
