7-Day Weather Forecast & Field Highlights

Hyperlocal weather intelligence and AI-generated field summaries to guide your daily decisions

The Weather & Highlights panel on the Monitor Farm page provides an at-a-glance understanding of what is happening in your field today — and what you should prepare for next. The panel now includes a toggle that lets you switch between:

• Forecast — a 7-day hyperlocal weather outlook

• Highlights — an AI-generated daily field summary based on the latest satellite, weather, and crop data

Forecast View

Hyperlocal weather sourced from the most accurate nearby station

Carbonleap aggregates weather data from multiple stations near your farm and automatically selects the one with the highest historical accuracy.

The Forecast panel displays:

• Daily weather conditions (sun, cloud cover, precipitation)

• High/low temperatures

• Wind speed

• Humidity

• Rainfall probability

Weather data plays a key role in:

• Phenological stage prediction

• Managing water stress

• Spray window alerts

• Disease pressure estimation (future alerts)

• Field operations planning

This data updates automatically throughout the day.

Highlights View

Your daily AI field summary, personalized for each block

The Highlights tab provides a natural-language, grower-friendly explanation of what is happening in the field. This analysis is generated using:

• Latest vegetation metrics (NDVI, NDRE, MSAVI, NDMI)

• Soil and canopy moisture indicators

• 7-day weather forecast

• Growth stage (from the Phenological Calendar)

• Recent changes in field conditions

• Multi-season historical data

What the Field Summary Includes

1. Overall Field Health A clear description of crop vigor, canopy development, and any significant changes since the last satellite image.

2. Moisture & Stress Signals Carbonleap identifies areas that may be showing early signs of water deficit, heat stress, or slowed canopy growth.

3. Canopy Development Insights Highlights whether canopy growth is on track for the current phenological stage — e.g., approaching ideal LAI during shoot growth or veraison.

4. Weather Impact Assessment AI explains what upcoming weather means for your field, including:

• Irrigation timing

• Heat-related stress

• Rainfall opportunities

• Cold-risk considerations

5. Simple, actionable “Health Checks” A bullet-point summary helps growers understand issues at a glance. Examples:

• Moisture stress in sectors 3–4 (68% capacity, trending downward)

• Canopy development: excellent growth rate

• Rain expected in 2 days may eliminate need for irrigation

This transforms raw data into practical recommendations without requiring technical expertise.

How Highlights Are Generated

The Field Summary updates whenever new data becomes available, such as:

• A new satellite scan of the field

• Updated 7-day weather forecast

• A shift in growth stage

• A newly detected stress signal

• Recent rapid changes in any vegetation metric

The system analyzes all inputs together rather than viewing them in isolation, resulting in a holistic field-level narrative.

When to Use Each View

Use Forecast when you need to:

• Plan irrigation

• Decide spray timing

• Prepare for stress events (heat, cold, wind)

• Understand weather-driven risks

Use Highlights when you want:

• A simple interpretation of field conditions

• Insight without analyzing raw metrics

• Early warnings based on multiple layers of data

• AI-supported decision guidance

• Daily summaries you can share with staff
