Sure, you can make a weather forecast from this. It would be about as accurate as me saying "tomorrow it will rain" - backed up with nothing but my gut. Have you read up on how weather forecasts are created?

# Weather Forecast

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-10)

I am working on an experimental weather station that has a minimal set of sensors:

* GPS (which gives me the location, date and time);
* Thermometer (which gives me the air temperature);
* Barometer (which gives me atmospheric pressure);
* Rain Detector (which indicates if it is raining or not);
* Ultraviolet sensor (which gives me the intensity of UV rays)

Basically, the system reads all these sensors simultaneously, with a 5 minute interval between readings and sends the samples to a remote database.

Is it possible to use the history of this information to make some kind of weather forecast?
