Conference Paper Description

It is impossible to forecast long-range lightning due to sharp and instantaneous lightning strike when compared to other weather conditions. However, it is possible to have a system that can predict the occurrence of lightning for over a small duration, say few minutes or few hours that will be useful for protection of disasters, such as lost of life or major costlier equipment. Atmospheric Electric field, Rain intensity, Temperature, Pressure, Wind speed and Humidity etc., are the good predictors of lightning. According to annual lightning report 2020–2021, 96% of lightning death cases are recorded in rural area as compared to urban areas. The proposed LoRa-based weather and lightning alert systems using IoT are developed to alert the rural population by the way of announcement, siren, voice call, WhatsApp, SMS and Mobile Apps about serious Weather and lightning conditions. Presently, this system is deployed in only few districts of our country. The developed system can be deployed in other states of our country to save people of rural areas from disasters due to lightning. This low cost system can also be used by Smart phone users to monitor weather and lightning information using IoT and Cloud platform.
