Field weather and sensor monitoring
Plan the working day against the weather where the field actually is: the next hours of wind, gusts, humidity and rain drawn against your farm’s own wind limit, a five-day forecast and the last ten days. Where a probe is connected, its soil water, conductivity and climate readings arrive with their depth, time and quality flags — for monitoring only, with no command sent to any device.
How it works
- 01
Check the next hours
Step through hourly wind, gusts, humidity, rain and temperature, with the exact values for the hour you choose.
- 02
Connect a probe if you have one
Readings come in from the platform you already use or your own gateway, each with its unit, depth and freshness.
- 03
Read the day against the crop
The Day Suitability Index scores today’s conditions out of 100 for the recorded crop and names the factor holding it back.
What it covers
Weather beside the work
Current conditions, the next twelve hours of rain and cloud, a five-day forecast and the past ten days, all for the field’s own coordinates, charted beside detailed tables that show the observation time and the forecast location. Official warnings are relayed when the provider supplies them, and a provider we cannot reach is shown as unreachable rather than as no warnings.
Hourly weather for the working day
Step through the coming hours for wind, gusts, humidity, rain and temperature, with the wind direction and the selected hour’s exact values. A reference line marks the farm’s wind limit for field work — and the crop’s heat limit where it matters — with the hours each is crossed, and hours with no data stay blank rather than reading as calm. Weather context for planning the work, not a spraying window or a safety sign-off.
Field sensors
Where a device is connected to a parcel: soil water content and matric potential, soil temperature and electrical conductivity; air temperature, humidity, dew point, leaf wetness, pressure, rain, wind, gusts and solar radiation; water flow, volume, line pressure and valve or pump state; and battery. Each reading shows its units, depth, measurement and receipt times, freshness and quality flags. Read-only: no device is ever sent a command.
Sensors, satellite and work, read together
With a probe connected and its reference range reviewed, prompts can join the signals: low soil water beside a falling canopy-moisture trend, with heat when it applies; low flow or pressure after a recorded irrigation; plants declining although the probe shows water; a planned irrigation after recorded rain. Device faults are kept apart from field concerns, and each prompt sends someone to look — it does not diagnose a pipe or prescribe water.
The Day Suitability Index
One score out of 100 for how today’s conditions suit the crop you recorded, drawn as a flower in which each petal is a factor: temperature, heat and frost, rain, soil and terrain, canopy vigour and canopy moisture — and, with a probe, soil water and soil salt. The weakest factor is named, every reading sits beside its reference range, and a factor with no current data is shown as left out rather than guessed. A daily conditions indicator, not a crop-health grade or a yield forecast.
Advice with its evidence
Daily and seasonal advice for the crop and the growth stage you have recorded, shown beside the readings and thresholds it was drawn from. These are rules, not a language model: the same inputs always produce the same answer, and it guides an inspection rather than replacing it.
What to keep in mind
Weather
Point estimates for a field's location, not a measurement of variation within it. Official warnings are relayed when the provider supplies them, and an unreachable provider is shown as unreachable rather than as no warnings.
Questions
A useful tool should be clear about what it can do, and where your judgement still matters.
How local is the weather information?
Weather is a point estimate for the field’s coordinates, not a measurement within every part of it. Some layers and official alerts need a configured provider. Unavailable information is marked as unavailable.
Is the Day Suitability Index a crop-health score?
No. It scores, out of 100, how today’s available conditions — weather, the ground, recent satellite readings and any connected probe — suit the crop you recorded. It is not a measure of crop health, a season forecast or a yield prediction. Factors without current data are left out and listed, so compare two scores only with their inputs in view.
