Farming weather
Soil temperatures today read surface 16.3 °C, 6 cm 17.2 °C, 18 cm 17.9 °C, 54 cm 17.2 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.2 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.2 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.18 m³/m³. For maize, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Forecast rain (19 mm) roughly covers crop water demand (ET0 22 mm), so irrigation can likely be paused. A suitable spraying window opens around 16:00 on 2026-06-21, 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: maize 64, wheat 102.
