Arduino Weather Clock keeps you informed on weather
Basically all of the weather machines out there have zero personality. They have their fancy screens to give you all of your weather alerts and your important weather information. However, most of them lack personality. Well this homemade job is packed full of personality. It may not warn you about severe weather, but it will let you know what to expect before you step outdoors.
The Arduino weather clock was created by Sean Carney. They used an old clock and then swapped out a mechanism for one controlled by an Arduino chipset. It manages to confirm the weather outside through the Environment Canada website. It will check the website every 15 minutes for weather updates and then change the hands of the clock as need. If you’re interested in making your own, you can learn a bit more about the clock by going to Carney’s website.

The sole function of barometer is to measure atmospheric pressure. Each design is different by using special methods of measuring; water, mercury, and air. These are all used to forecast short term changes in the weather.
