Nilithi farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 33.1 °C, 6 cm 31.5 °C, 18 cm 34.2 °C, 54 cm 32.3 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.22 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.23 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.26 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 46 mm against only 3 mm of expected rain — a 42 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 12 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for wheat with highs reaching 41 °C (threshold 32 °C). Heat stress is likely for rice with highs reaching 41 °C (threshold 35 °C). Heat stress is likely for sugarcane with highs reaching 41 °C (threshold 38 °C). Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 211, rice 172, sugarcane 158.
