Farm Rainfall Tracking, Weather Forecasts and Alerts
Rainfall drives everything on a farm: crop yield, pasture growth, stocking rates and cash flow. P2PAgri records rainfall for each farm, shows a live forecast for your exact location, and warns you before frost, heat stress, storms or heavy rain arrive.
How Do I Record and Track Rainfall on My Farm?
Rainfall drives everything in Australian agriculture. P2PAgri's automated weather API provides decades of historical daily rainfall data for each farm location. Record rainfall by farm, view monthly statistics, and use rainfall data to inform your management decisions.
Record Rainfall by Farm
Enter rainfall data at the level that matters to your operation: Farm level (daily rainfall from your rain gauge). Rainfall data connects to your farm map.
Automated Weather Data
P2PAgri can pull historical and recent rainfall data automatically for your farm location using the Open-Meteo weather API. Set your location and let the system do the rest.
Weather Alerts for Frost, Heat Stress, Storms and Heavy Rain
P2PAgri watches the forecast for your farm's location and sends you an alert when damaging weather is on the way. Alerts cover the events that matter most to Australian farm businesses:
- Frost warnings, so you can plan around frost-sensitive crops and stock
- Heat stress alerts, so you can get ahead of extreme heat before it hits your livestock
- Heavy rainfall warnings ahead of big falls
- Storm alerts before severe weather arrives
Notifications That Arrive When It Matters
Weather alerts arrive in real time inside P2PAgri, along with a live weather widget on your dashboard showing current conditions and the 7-day forecast for your farm. Because alerts are based on your farm's GPS location from your farm map, you get warnings for your property, not the nearest town.
Monthly Rainfall Statistics & Water Use Efficiency
See monthly rainfall summaries and trends over time. Compare this year's monthly rainfall to the long-term average. Rainfall data feeds directly into P2PAgri's crop water use efficiency (WUE) calculator, one of the most important benchmarks for dryland farming.
Use Rainfall Data to Make Better Farm Business Decisions
“P2PAgri is very user friendly and a great tool for running various scenarios such as crop rotations or rainfall totals before entering a new season. You can track your progress throughout the year and make price or yield adjustments as the season progresses. This provides great detail enabling farmers to evaluate their decisions and adjust accordingly.”
