During the cereal harvest, an important data for farmers is the forecasting of rainfall particularly on a very short term.
From a climatological point of view, July 2020 is characterised by a very marked weather gradient between northern and southern Europe. This contrast has its origin in the circulation of Atlantic lows. Indeed, Ireland and the United Kingdom are directly influenced by rain fronts ! While the British Island experiences a total rainfall amount close to the seasonal normal, the Mediterranean regions dry out under the sun’s rays. Nevertheless, the values from the weather stations in our network show a significant precipitation deficit in the UK since July 1st.
Indeed, the average total rainfall for July in London is around 50 millimetres (= litres per square meter). The majority of our rain gauges, Raincrop in this region have not recorded more than 20 to 30 millimetres. On the other hand, there are significant disparities from one region to another due to variations in the intensity of rain showers. If a farmer is busy harvesting, it is crucial for him or her to anticipate the arrival of weather conditions.
Given these local differences, keeping an eye on the rain radar offered by the Sencrop interface, allows farmers to better to apprehend the weather and improve the profitability of their activities.
Thanks to the Sencrop radar, which allows visualizing the movement of the zones of and downstream rainfall, operators can best optimize the rainfall and the organisation of their agricultural operations.

BYDV risk runs on temperature from the day your crop emerges. How the 170 day-degree T-sum works, how to set a 150 alert in the Sencrop app, and which levers reduce the risk this autumn.
Potato late blight is the most feared fungal disease among potato growers. Without proper monitoring and treatment, yield losses can reach 80 to 100% of the harvest. Understanding the disease, knowing how to recognise it and anticipating its onset are now essential to securing your crops. What Is Potato Late
Nitrogen, fertilizers, pesticides: your inputs are expensive. Very expensive. And when heavy rain hits right after application, some of it can literally disappear beneath your feet. Leaching is an often underestimated phenomenon, but one that can have a direct impact on yield, treatment effectiveness… and your wallet. 💡 Good news: there
