Climate: the weather your greenhouse has to deal with

Temperature, humidity, wind and rain decide how hard your greenhouse has to work. See what the past ten years really looked like.

Averages hide the extremes

An average year does not exist. What costs you money are the cold snaps, the hot weeks, the damp periods and the storms. A report with ten years of data shows how often these happen at your location, and how strong they get.

What the report shows you

Temperature

Typical days and extreme days, by season. Useful for heating, cooling and the choice of crop.

Humidity

How damp or dry the outside air is. This has a direct effect on dehumidification and on energy use.

Wind

Average wind speed and the strongest gusts. Important for vent strategy and for the load on screens and structure.

Cloud cover and precipitation

How many dull and wet days to expect, which links to light, water and energy planning.

A changing climate asks for current numbers

Long investments should not rest on old or general data. With recent data for your own GPS location, you base your plans on what your location has really done, and you see whether the pattern is shifting.
