MODERN METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS

Owing to the project, the Kuyavian and Pomeranian Agricultural Advisory Centre in Minikowo purchased or modernized 38 meteorological stations.

Precision stations are equipped with sensors for temperature, air humidity, soil moisture and rain gauges. They also measure ground temperature, wind speed and even leaf wetness. They allow our farmers to check changes in the weather in real time, so they can increase their yields and take timely preventive action. Data from the stations is also used, among other things, in decision-making support systems for the control of yield-degrading crop pests. Meteorological station measurements make it possible to plan agrotechnical measures in detail, especially irrigation. The data collected by meteorological stations are used by crisis management, environmental protection and fire-fighting services.

Weather data from the meteorological station are available to everyone ONLINE. Measurements are taken and updated every 15 minutes.
