Paragliding is one of the flying sports that is currently experiencing an increase in the number of pilots and many locations are provided. To monitor the safety of paragliding take-off an instrument for energy-efficient weather monitoring is needed so that the system can work more efficiently at a paragliding take-off location far from electric power sources. This weather monitoring instrument consists of 2 sensor nodes, sensor node 1 for weather monitoring and as a system that applies the duty cycle method for power savings consisting of sensors temperature, humidity, altitude, rain conditions, wind speed and wind direction. Sensor node 2 for monitoring current and voltage flowing on sensor node 1 and as the sender of sensing data to thingspeak. The results of the acquisition of the weather monitoring system sensor module have an average sensing accuracy above 85%. The results of the percentage testing of the effectiveness of saving current consumption from sensor node 1 obtained a saving value of 28.87%.
