1. A washing machine comprising:
a tub;
a sensor positioned within the tub and configured to measure a washing water turbidity;
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
control the communicator to transmit first turbidity information of washing water measured at first pre-set time intervals by the sensor to a server, wherein the first turbidity information includes a first turbidity measurement for each of the first pre-set time intervals,
receive a first control signal for controlling a washing cycle based on predicted turbidity information of washing water at a second pre-set time interval, the predicted turbidity information predicted based on the first turbidity information and on weather information,
obtain, from the sensor, a second turbidity measurement at the second pre-set time interval,
control the communicator to transmit second turbidity information of washing water including the second turbidity measurement to the server,
receive a second control signal for controlling the washing cycle based on an amount of change between the predicted turbidity information and the second turbidity information from the server through the communicator, and
control the washing cycle based on the second control signal.
