Aurora farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 16.3 °C, 6 cm 17.7 °C, 18 cm 18.1 °C, 54 cm 16.6 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.27 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.28 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.3 m³/m³. For maize, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 27 mm against only 11 mm of expected rain — a 16 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 06:00 on 2026-06-21, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Projected growing degree days over the next week: maize 54, wheat 93.
