Wind
Data
Real-time wind speed, direction and gust data from an ultrasonic anemometer — so you always know when it's safe to spray and when to protect your crops.
Live wind — Station WS-017, Nakuru
Safe to spray
Wind below 15 km/h threshold — conditions acceptable
Why it matters
Wind data saves crops
and cuts costs
Spraying in the wrong wind conditions wastes chemicals, damages neighbouring crops and risks regulatory violations. Real-time wind data removes the guesswork.
Safe spraying windows
Receive an alert when wind drops below your spray threshold. Stop wasting agrochemicals on windy days and protect neighbouring farms from drift.
Wind gust alerts
Ultrasonic sensors capture gusts that cup anemometers miss. Get SMS alerts before damaging wind events — protect greenhouses, polytunnels and young crops.
Historic wind patterns
Three years of wind history per station. Understand seasonal wind patterns, identify erosion-risk periods and plan shelterbelts with real data.
Drone flight safety
Drone operators and agri-aviation teams use live wind readings to make safe launch decisions — compliant with CAA wind limits for spraying UAVs.
Evapotranspiration models
Wind speed is a key input to the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith ET equation. Feed real local wind into your irrigation scheduling models automatically.
Compliance documentation
Export timestamped wind logs as evidence of safe spraying conditions — required by GlobalG.A.P., Rainforest Alliance and other certification bodies.
Wind reference
Understanding your wind readings
Use this quick reference to set alert thresholds on your NuaSense dashboard. Most agrochemical labels require wind speeds below 15 km/h for safe application.

Applications
Who uses wind data
01
Agrochemical spraying operations
Commercial spray contractors and farm managers use live wind data to schedule spray runs — avoiding drift, waste and regulatory violations.
02
Greenhouse & tunnel farms
High wind can collapse structures or damage vents. Automated alerts trigger structure checks or vent closures before conditions worsen.
03
Agri-drone operators
LoRaWAN wind stations placed along flight corridors give drone spray operators real-time go / no-go data at precise field locations.
04
GlobalG.A.P. certified farms
Certification audits require spray condition records. Automated wind logs provide tamper-proof timestamped evidence for every application.
