Ampthill farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 17.3 °C, 6 cm 22.6 °C, 18 cm 21.8 °C, 54 cm 16.5 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.22 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.22 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.28 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 42 mm against only 4 mm of expected rain — a 38 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 05:00 on 2026-06-22, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for wheat with highs reaching 34 °C (threshold 32 °C). Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 132, maize 93.
