The “Wet Bulb Temperature” product provides hourly forecasts for the next seven days, measuring the temperature that reflects air humidity, essential for assessing comfort conditions and water stress. This temperature is important because it combines the influence of air temperature with relative humidity, providing a more accurate measure of atmospheric conditions.
High wet bulb temperature values indicate high humidity, which can increase the risk of plant diseases and affect evapotranspiration—the process by which water is transferred from the surface to the atmosphere. Conversely, low values suggest a drier environment, increasing the need for irrigation to maintain crop health.
This information is particularly valuable for agriculture, as it allows monitoring of the atmospheric conditions’ impact on plants. With precise data on wet bulb temperature, farmers can make informed decisions about irrigation, crop management, and protection against climate stress, ensuring more sustainable and efficient production.
