Industry use case

Farming & agriculture

A decade of field-level weather for every decision in the season.

From the first sowing to the final harvest, PastClimate gives agronomists and growers the exact hourly record for their fields — so plans rest on what the climate actually does, not the almanac.

How PastClimate helps

Planting & harvest windows

Find the dates that historically stay above frost and below heat stress, tuned to your exact coordinates.

Irrigation & water budgeting

Match rainfall and evapotranspiration patterns to schedule irrigation and cut waste.

Frost & heat-stress risk

Quantify how often cold snaps and heatwaves have hit each field in the last 10 years.

Yield & insurance modelling

Correlate historical weather with yield and back agricultural insurance with hard data.

In your report

  • Last-spring / first-fall frost dates and growing-season length, by year
  • Growing Degree Days accumulated against a configurable base temperature
  • Recommended planting & harvest window — the dates that historically clear frost and heat-stress thresholds
  • Rainfall totals and dry-spell frequency through the season
  • Heat-stress day counts
  • 10-year trend on each of the above

Coming soon

  • Per-year frost/GDD detection (today’s snapshot uses the 10-year climatological average day, not each individual year)
  • Irrigation water balance (rainfall vs. evapotranspiration)
  • Yield-correlation export for pairing against your own harvest records
