AI Precipitation Nowcasting Kit - Predict Rain 30 Minutes Before It Falls with ESP32

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

You'll deploy a solar-powered outdoor node that collects pressure, humidity, and rain sensor readings, feeds them into a locally running LSTM neural network, and alerts you to impending rain 30 minutes before it begins - invaluable for precision agriculture, environmental research, or smart city flood management. This advanced kit lets you build a weather station that learns your microclimate and delivers hyperlocal nowcasts without relying on distant radar or generic forecasts.

What You'll Build

A weatherproof, solar-powered device that logs environmental data to an SD card, runs an LSTM inference model on the ESP32, and shows rain probability on the OLED. You'll place it in a field, on a rooftop, or at a remote monitoring outpost to receive early rain warnings and collect a long-term dataset for your own AI experiments.

What You'll Learn

• Train and quantize an LSTM neural network for time-series rain prediction on a resource-constrained ESP32 microcontroller.
• Interface multiple I2C sensors - BMP280 barometer, SHT31 hygrometer, DS3231 RTC - and manage power via an LM2596 buck converter and TP4056 solar charging.
• Run AI inference entirely at the edge, without cloud dependency, for low-latency, private rain alerts.
• Waterproof and solar-power a custom PCB for reliable, 24/7 outdoor environmental monitoring.
