Abstract

Food production is germane to the development of any nation. The survival and improvement in crop production, which yields food availability, is dependent on weather conditions. Generating climate conditions data for forecast of crop production is required if bumper yield of crop is desired. Often times, in this era of climate change, food production has suffered a setback as weather conditions keeps varying. In this paper, a weather condition monitoring system is developed to give readings of temperature, humidity and wind speed. Various sensors were put together to collect readings of the mentioned parameters. The output of these sensors serves as input to a micro-controller which processes the information for storage. These stored data are then retrieved for forecasting of weather condition annually for crop production. The system was tested and measurement of the three weather parameters were collected.
