Description

UrbanClimSense is an open-source low-cost LoRa weather station designed for urban microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort monitoring in tropical environments. This repository contains the complete hardware and software resources required to reproduce the system, including ESP32 firmware for sensor nodes and gateway, PCB design files, mechanical drawings, 3D-printable components, bill of materials, assembly documentation, and calibration references. The station measures air temperature, relative humidity, globe temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation, enabling the computation of outdoor thermal comfort indices such as UTCI. The system was developed for dense urban deployments using autonomous solar-powered LoRa sensor networks.
