Sistem Pemantauan Jaringan Pada Perangkat Pemantau Cuaca Otomatis Dengan Metode RAD Berbasis Aplikasi Web

Abstract

Weather information has become one of the essential needs used in various sectors, such as agriculture, transportation, and disaster mitigation. One of the widely accessible sources of weather data is through the Application Programming Interface (API) service provided by Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG). Through the API, users can obtain real-time weather forecast data based on specific regions. However, the data retrieval process highly depends on network stability and service availability. Problems such as response delays, data retrieval failures, or service unavailability may cause the data not to be updated optimally. This study aims to provide accurate and easily understandable information regarding the latest weather data retrieval status from the BMKG API through a web-based monitoring system. The system was developed to monitor the data retrieval process and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of monitoring weather data availability. The research methods used include data collection through direct observation at BMKG and system development using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. The results of this study indicate that the web-based weather monitoring system was successfully developed and is capable of collecting, storing, and displaying weather data effectively. Based on Black Box testing, all system features functioned properly, enabling users to obtain weather information quickly and support more accurate decision-making.
