Abstract

Determining live weather data for outdoor sporting events is very important for athletes because it can have a big influence on the standard of their performance. However, in some locations there are no live weather stations that athletes can rely on; therefore, the proposed idea is to create an automated system that can collect weather data from two nearby weather stations and interpolate the data by using formulas in order to identify the weather data in between these stations. Consequently, using the available technologies and applying the proposed formulas would add value to tackling this issue.
