Weather station over 10 miles away...

Featured Replies

Posted

I have the weather and irrigation modules but the closest weather station is over 10 miles from my house. :shock: It doesn't seem like that would be very accurate for rain, wind, etc. :( With that in mind I don't use the evapotransiration with my EZRain sprinkler kit.

 

Do you think a weather station a little over 10 miles away is accurate enough or would it be best to use other methods to control the sprinklers, ie. rain sensors/moisture sensors? :?:

 

Thanks for your help! 8)

Hi jmed999,

 

The nearest weather station to me is about 10 miles away (if I recall correctly) and I do use both weatherbug data and the irr. module both successfully. There are no hills or valleys between me and the station. While some of the data may vary (both temp and rain fall) slightly, it seems pretty close. Close enough for me anyway.

I have been using the WB data for a year or two and started using the irr. module in programs when it became available. It has been a huge success for me.

Cant say for sure if it will work as good for you or not but its worth a try, there is a 30 day money back trial (pretty sure its still available).
