Harsh climatic conditions and lack of infrastructure are factors that can cause major disasters. Daily reports are made about floods and landslides due to rains affecting the cities during certain months of the year. This paper describes the development of a weather station that collects data regarding the relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and temperature. The station has a GPS that determinates location and data, transmitted through the Internet, using a GSM module. It is small sized and is designed to be coupled in beacons used to assist in aerial navigation. Thus, it is possible to improve the spatial resolution in data collection taking advantage of the high concentration of these flags. The data are transmitted to a server and can be used to generate weather forecasts more accurately, and generate information for mobilizing rescue teams warning them about critical points.
