Soil temperatures today read surface 22 °C, 6 cm 24.4 °C, 18 cm 23.5 °C, 54 cm 17.9 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.26 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.26 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.27 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 45 mm against only 19 mm of expected rain — a 26 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week.
