Soil Moisture is measured at a depth of about 20cm in a fine clay soil. The unit of soil moisture measurements are centibars.  Shallow Rooted Plants Soil Moisture 17cb Soil by the roots is moderately wet. No need to give water.
       
  High Soil Moisture 17cb at 6:44am  
       
  Low Soil Moisture 16cb at 12:00am  
       
  Soil Temperature 11.7°C  
       
  High Soil Temperature 11.7°C at 2:21pm  
       
  Low Soil Temperature 11.1°C at 12:00am  
       
       
   Pot plant soil moisture is measured in a medium size soil filled plastic pot located in a shady spot. The unit of soil moisture measurements are centibars.  Pot Plant Soil Moisture 49cb Soil by the roots is still wet, but drying. Heavy clay soil would still be wet.
  High Soil Moisture 50cb at 7:20am  
       
  Low Soil Moisture 47cb at 12:01am  
       
  Soil Temperature 12.2°C

How much moisture is on a typical leaf. 0 is dry, 15 is saturated.  Leaf Wetness 0

Leaves have no dew or moisture on them
  High Leaf Wetness 15 at 12:00am  
       
  Low Leaf Wetness 0 at 9:35am  
       
       
Shallow Pond Water Temperature. If it is to cold, it can be difficult for fish to survive. Shallow Pond Water Temperature 11.7°C Water temperature is cold  
       
       
Evaporation is the process where water is pulled into the sky by the heat provided by the sun. This can make the ground dry sometimes even after it has been raining.  Daily Evaporation Rate 0.76mm How much water is evaporating from the ground to the air per day
       
  Monthly Evaporation Rate 5.59mm How much water has evaporated this month. Compare to the rainfall
       
  Yearly Evaporation Rate 550.42mm How much water has evaporated this year. Compare to the rainfall
