Weather Probe : capture local weather conditions

Connected weather stations are revolutionising farm management by providing accurate weather data in real time. These tools enable farmers to adapt their practices on a day-to-day basis, anticipate risks and improve their efficiency thanks to a better understanding of local weather conditions. Thanks to these technologies, farmers can react more quickly, reduce their costs and contribute to more environmentally-friendly farming

Main applications

Local weather monitoring

Weather stations measure essential climatic parameters in real time:

Rainfall : monitoring rainfall to adjust irrigation requirements.
Wind : speed, direction and gusts, useful for planning sprays.
Temperature and humidity: to detect the risk of frost or conditions conducive to disease.
Dew point: assessment of factors favouring the proliferation of fungi.

Planning agricultural operations

Thanks to accurate weather data, winegrowers can :

Plan agricultural work (spraying, pruning, harvesting) based on optimum weather conditions.
Adapt their practices to avoid losses due to climatic hazards.

Data logging and traceability

The data collected is recorded and can be integrated into plot management tools to :

Facilitate traceability and compliance with regulatory specifications.
Analyse long-term climatic trends for better anticipation.

Collaborative networks

Weather stations can be integrated into connected networks, enabling :

Sharing data with other winegrowers or cooperatives.
A global view of weather conditions on a regional scale, to help coordinate collective action.

Use and settings

Optimum installation

To guarantee accurate measurements, it is important to :

Install the stations in areas that are representative of local conditions, away from obstacles such as buildings or trees.
Position the sensors at suitable heights for reliable measurement of the parameters.

Regular maintenance

Periodic maintenance is necessary to :

Check and recalibrate the sensors to ensure their reliability.
Clean the equipment to avoid disturbances caused by the accumulation of debris or impurities.

Connectivity and synchronisation

Modern weather stations synchronise with digital platforms to :

Provide real-time access via dedicated applications or software.
Automatically store data for later analysis.

Data security and reliability

Data is generally stored in secure environments to guarantee its integrity and availability, accessible only to authorised users.

Focus on predicting the risk of frost

In the event of a risk of frost, weather sensors are used to trigger and control active control equipment. Temperature (dry, wet), humidity and wind speed are major factors that need to be known and recorded in order to analyse different situations and correlate them with observations in the vineyard. These data can be used to measure the performance of the equipment used. The addition of a forecasting model is necessary to anticipate any intervention.

Temperature and hygrometry probe: at bud level

The purpose of this sensor is to monitor temperature and/or humidity in real time at bud level to help monitor changes in temperature and humidity, with the aim of initiating or stopping pest control at the right moment. In the case of frost control, the wet temperature is a factor to be taken into account when managing the triggering of control systems, particularly for spraying.
