GrowPilot: Localized weather forecasts

Weather forecasts in GrowPilot cover Air Temperature, Rainfall, Wind speed, and VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit).

What forecasts are provided?

1. Air Temperature (Celsius):

Air Temperature refers to the outside/outdoor temperature. It plays a significant role in plant growth, development, and water requirements.

2. Rainfall (mm):

Rainfall means precipitation that falls. Rain is important to provide water to outdoor crops, but heavy rainfall can cause damage to the plants and damage fruits.

3. Wind (km/hr):

Wind is the rate at which air is moving in a particular area. High winds can cause significant damage to the plants, fruit and growing infrastructure.

4. Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) (kPa):

The difference between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated. For example, a higher VPD indicates a relatively drier environment at a given temperature, which might exert stress on the plants, and you might need to monitor and adjust the environment to reduce any stress on the plants.
