On-farm weather monitoring
Weather stations that measure your own paddock and calculate the indices you work from: Delta T, inversions, heat load, frost and more.
Request a site assessmentSpraying, heat stress, frost and fire danger decisions are made on conditions in the paddock, not at a Bureau of Meteorology station many kilometres away. A station on the property measures the inputs directly.
We install weather stations and specific sensors, such as two-height temperature masts for inversion detection, black globe sensors for heat load and soil temperature probes, and set up the calculations and alerts that turn readings into decisions.
What we monitor
- Air temperature at one or two heights
- Humidity, wind and rainfall
- Black globe and solar radiation
- Soil temperature and leaf wetness
Horticulture, nuts and wine
- Temperature inversion spray drift: get a text and a recordA 10 m mast beside the block flags surface inversions, logs wind and temperature, and texts you when cold air may carry a neighbour's spray onto the vines.
- Leaf wetness sensor price: what it takes to time mildew spraysLeaf wetness, rain and temperature monitoring for vineyards and orchards, with the downy mildew degree-hours count and SMS alerts, installed and commissioned by us.
