Frost watch
Air frost kills tender crops. Ground frost can still nip seedlings on clear, calm nights even when the air stays above zero. This panel reads the next ten nights.
Next 48 hours
Sowing, watering and fleece decisions live in this window. Rain chance above 60% is highlighted.

Ten days ahead
Confidence fades with distance. Treat days one to three as plannable, days four to seven as a steer, and beyond that as weather gossip.

Soil & sowing
Seed packets talk dates. Seeds respond to soil temperature. The dial shows modelled soil temperature at 6 cm against the thresholds common crops germinate at. A soil thermometer in your own bed always beats the model.
What will germinate now

Watering balance
The next seven days of forecast rain, set against what the ground is expected to lose to evaporation and plant use (reference evapotranspiration). A deficit means the watering can earns its keep.

Adjustments generated from the forecast above. Each one says why it appears. When the weather is kind, this list stays short on purpose.

This month
General UK lowland timings. Northern and upland plots typically run two to three weeks later, sheltered southern and coastal plots earlier. Your own frost record beats any calendar.
Data & honesty
Where this comes from
Forecasts, soil temperature, soil moisture and evapotranspiration come from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0), using a UK-led blend of UKMO and ECMWF model output. Place search uses the Open-Meteo geocoder, postcode lookup uses postcodes.io. Everything runs in your browser with no keys and no accounts.
What this will never do
This tool separates observation, forecast and interpretation, and it never fabricates data it does not have. For severe weather decisions always use the Met Office warnings service. For flooding use the Environment Agency, SEPA or Natural Resources Wales.
