Necessary To Have Accurate Weather Updates For Optimum Farming Results

The vagaries of nature undoubtedly play a vital role in bringing forth a bumper crop

. Even today, a good harvest or good crop depends to a large extent on the farming weather conditions. Optimum farming weather conditions imply a good farming or agriculture season. Fluctuations in weather conditions mean droughts, excessive rains, sudden increase in temperature - hot or cold which could hamper the sowing or even standing crops are factors which cause a great lot of worry to farmers.

On basis of farming weather updates, crucial farming decision such as sowing of seeds, spraying of fertilizer or pesticide, watering or even harvesting them are taken. In case of reduced water supply in farmers need to opt for irrigating their crops. In case spraying of fertilizer is required it is essential to have a relatively calm atmosphere or depression followed by a rainy weather which allows the farmer to spray and fertilizer for a few hours, following the rain which will wash it in. In case of harvesting crops or collecting hay, the most suitable weather condition will be the dry spell along with very little or no wind - this ensures the hay is collected and well dried over a period of time.

This heavy reliance on weather conditions makes it imperative for farmers to gain access to farming weather conditions on regular basis. With technological advancement and implementation of latest techniques, weather can be predicted on frequent intervals and as specific as farmers want. Till recently most weather updates were available on TV, radio and media but with the onset of Internet, farmers can enjoy every minute, every hour, weekly as well as fortnightly updates on weather conditions in their area and on a global scale as well. This ensures they can be extremely precise and accurate in their farming activities.

Depending upon the websites offering weather updates at varying levels, basic weather updates are offered free, while paid weather updates include weather updates through the radar which is used in tracking rain, sleet and snow and storm occurrences. Some special weather websites have special weather measuring gadgets and tools which offer detailed and complete weather updates and provide them on hourly basis, next 48 hours, next 16 days forecast and even weather charts.

The traditional methods of weather forecasting and weather updates still prevail amongst the older generation of farmers. The most relied upon weather forecasting media is through sky and its conditions and colour. Additionally, with the onset of regular and very accurate farming weather updates easily available on-line, the task of farming can be carried out in a well planned and phased out manner. Moreover with most of the farming news - through print media, television media and Internet media, farming activities can be carried out in much methodical manner.
