Tumba farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 16.3 °C, 6 cm 18.9 °C, 18 cm 18.7 °C, 54 cm 14 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.25 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.26 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.3 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 34 mm against only 4 mm of expected rain — a 30 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 04:00 on 2026-06-21, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 107, maize 69.
