Go active with a weather station

How do we know if it is cold or warm? How much has it been raining? Are plants happy or unhappy? With portable weather stations deployed at schools, we are monitoring temperature, wind direction, wind velocity, and precipitation in the Uatumã Sustainable Reserve, along the Uatumã river, in the Central Amazon.

Every day, we can go out to the stations and write down the temperature, wind direction, wind velocity, and precipitation. If you have received an account to the site, you can upload these numbers and they will be included in the figure below.

If we collect these numbers every day, the figure will improve. Let’s see if we can construct an evolution of the temperature, wind and precipitation during a whole month!
