Air temperature and humidity LoRa sensor readings

Since spring 2019, the AWEL of the Canton of Zurich has been operating a measuring network of around 40 air temperature and humidity sensors (LoRa). The sensor locations are mainly located in urban areas, condensed in the city of Zurich, but also in other municipalities in the canton of Zurich. The aim of the measurement network is to provide measurement data for urban climate analyses so that aspects of local climate and climate change become more visible and can be taken into account in spatial planning and urban development. These data can be used, among other things, to describe the effects of heat waves in urban areas. The measurement network is operated by the AWEL, with the participation of the City of Zurich; the other local communities are informed about the measurement activity. The data set available here will be updated irregularly from 2025 onwards and includes all measured values valid for the locations in a 10-minute average, including corresponding location information. Further information on the dataset structure and sensors used can be found in the dataset description.
