Standard Weather Station

Real-time Online Data, Alerts and Agronomic Indices for Farming Applications 

The Wildeye Weather Station is a complete, online weather station that not only provides real-time data for key weather parameters like rain, temperature, humidity and wind; but also generates agronomic indices such as Reference Evapotranspiration, Delta-T, Chill Portions, Growing Degree Days and more.

It’s used by corporate farming enterprises throughout Australia and California, government agriculture departments in WA, Victoria, NSW and Queensland, agricultural input suppliers like Sygneta and David Grays, NSW Rural Fire Service, countless grower groups, and individual farmers California and Australia-wide.
