Weather and forecasting

Improved decision making whatever the weather

In recent years, the UK has experienced the extremes of mother nature, whether that be severe flooding, or persistent drought. Seasons are no longer as distinct or predictable, so it’s time to adapt.

As uncertain as the weather is, one thing is certain – it cannot be controlled. But despite this, businesses must continue to function to the best of their abilities, come rain or shine. Whether that’s maintaining the country’s food production, or supporting the tourism sector, finding ways to work with the weather is pivotal in ensuring business profitability.

The world’s resources are finite. With around 70% of global water used for agriculture and food production, there is increasing pressure on growers to use water more effectively. As well as exercising sustainable environmental practice, good water management also helps to maximise yields and improve business efficiency.

Weather stations

The stations can measure the following - rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed/direction, soil temperature and evapotranspiration.

Disease risk reports can also be generated to support input decision making for farm or amenity use.

Notifications can be created at any threshold to alert of critical conditions such as frost, heavy rainfall or high wind.

Data is available in near-real time for any PC, smartphone or tablet with an internet connection.
