How I Spent My Day | 13-06-2025

Greetings guys,
I welcome you all to my blog. It's another beautiful day, and I'd like to share with you how I spend my day. It was Friday, and the last working day of the week. I also went to school to continue with my practical work, as I have been working on it for the past few days.

My day started by doing my choices as usual at home and then preparing myself to go to the lab since I am working on a few hardware components, which I need to carry out my analysis before writing my project. I am working on a real-time weather forecast in a rural area.

In the project, I am combining IoT and AI for the analysis. The essence is to build a prototype that can then be deployed for real-world usage if effective, especially in rural areas that will aid precision agriculture and disaster preparedness, among other functions. I am using an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller that will get real-time data alongside a DHT11, which is for temperature and humidity sensor.

I was able to set up the entire gadget yesterday, and the wireless sensor (ESP8266), which I will be using to communicate with my ThingSpeak channel, was also identified. The plan is to get real-time data and also combine it with historical data and then use a machine learning model to analyse and forecast further weather states, especially in rural areas.

It was an intense research process, and during the noon, Prof. Celestine Iwendi told me that I will be joining them to visit a certain care home which needs the service of the centre in building and integrating their entire system into one place and also increasing the functionality of the system to enable a lot of things to become automated.

We had real fun and time together discussing and going through their system, and both lecturers who took us there saw that it was quite an intense project, but they are ready to work on it since the centre has a lot of programmers around who are willing to carry out the task.

We got all the needed information and then came back, and the school has decided to draft an MOU with the organisation before they can commence work properly. I came back home with my hardware gadget, still struggling to get my real-time weather data for my analysis.

So that was how I spent my day. I hope you all enjoyed reading through my blog. See you all in my next publications, guys.
