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 6cb Soil is totally wet by the roots and no need to give water. Use mulch to conserve water.
       
  High (dryer) Soil Moisture 6cb at 12:00am  
       
  Low (wetter) Soil Moisture 5cb at 12:00am  
       
  Soil Temperature 11.1°C  
       
  High 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 7cb Soil is totally wet by the roots and no need to give water. Use mulch to conserve water.

How much moisture is on a typical leaf. 0 is dry, 15 is saturated.  Leaf Wetness 0 Leaves may be wet from the rain. No dew present.
  High Leaf Wetness 15 at 12:00am  
       
  Low Leaf Wetness 0 at 11:22am  
       
       
Shallow Pond Water Temperature. If it is to cold, it can be difficult for fish to survive. Shallow Pond Water Temperature 10.6°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 0.25mm How much water is evaporating from the ground to the air per day
       
  Monthly Evaporation 4.06mm How much water has evaporated this month. Compare to the rainfall
       
  Yearly Evaporation 542.29mm How much water has evaporated this year. Compare to the rainfall
       
Light      
     
Sun light that can harm your skin. Ultraviolet Radiation 1.5 index Sunburn risk is minimal.
