Observing Weather changes through RaspberryPi Sense Hat.

I am working on a project that will help gardeners take care of their plants . For the project , I  have used Raspberry Pi Sense hat, which can detect different weather conditions . To  observe the weather conditions , I have programmed it to detect the outdoor humidity  and  temperature changes . During a period of two weeks , I have recorded different weather  observations , which are as follows: 1- When the temperature was 28C and the humidity was 43% the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat  displayed a yellow colour on its screen which means “Sunny”, because it was true for the  condition when humidity is less than 50% and temperature is greater than 20C . 2-When the temperature was 18C and the humidity was 77% the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat  displayed a green colour on its screen which means “Nice”, because it was true for the  condition when humidity is greater than 50% and temperature is less than 20C . 3-When the temperature was 15C and the humid

These types of movements are called Seismonastic movement and they cause the change in orientation of the leaves. This movement is due to the high pressure stimuli received by the sleeping grass plant , which triggers the loss of water from the cells of the leaves resulting in the folding inwards and drooping of the leaves , this lasts for a few minutes , after that the sleeping grass regains its original
