In recent years, Virginia Union University has developed its own weather station. The purpose of the station is to determine the current weather at Virginia Union University and in the surrounding area by the University. In this research, weather data collected will be analyzed and comparisons will be given with respect to other weather stations data such as underground and Richmond International Airport.

Role: The part of the research I did is collecting the wind speed, wind direction, temperature relative humidity, rainfall, solar radiation, gust speed, and barometric pressure from Virginia Union University's weather station website. I have also collected data from underground and Richmond International Airport. Lastly, I've graphed and analyzed all the data and drawn comparisons.
