KNMI weather forecasts now available on the MyLedgnd homepage

MyLedgnd now includes a new convenient feature. Thanks to a new connection with the KNMI, accurate weather forecasts are now automatically displayed on your MyLedgnd homepage. You can see in real time which weather conditions are affecting the outside of your greenhouse, up to 48 hours in advance. External weather apps? You no longer need them. The KNMI data is freely available to all MyLedgnd users.

The KNMI weather information shows the current conditions and forecasts for the next two days, accurate to a 2 by 2 kilometre area around your greenhouse. This allows you to take timely action against heat peaks, cold nights or sudden sunlight. In doing so, you prevent your greenhouse climate from getting out of balance.

On the weather forecasts dashboard you see at a glance all essential weather data that can directly influence your cultivation decisions:

Temperature (°C): Current and expected outside temperature, important for heat radiation and ventilation planning
Radiation (W/m²): Solar radiation, crucial for photosynthesis and light input
Precipitation (mm): For irrigation planning, greenhouse ventilation and water collection
Relative humidity (%): Affects evaporation and air exchange
Absolute humidity (g/m³): Helps manage the moisture balance in the greenhouse environment
Wind speed (m/s): Essential for natural ventilation and heat loss
Wind direction: Relevant for opening roof vents and adjusting screen settings

Thanks to these short-term forecasts you can respond in time to periods of heat, cold or increased sunlight. This gives you as a grower full control over your greenhouse climate even before conditions actually change.

Is your company located within the geographical grids of the KNMI? Then this feature is completely free to use within MyLedgnd. No additional installation or subscription required, just clear weather insights, directly on your dashboard. View the KNMI weather grid below.
