Introducing Verdi Weather

Until now, getting reliable weather and soil data meant installing and maintaining a physical weather station, or relying on generic, imprecise forecasts.
Verdi Weather changes that.
This new feature gives you hyper-local weather data, right inside your Verdi dashboard.
Powered by Precip, it puts actionable insights exactly where growers make irrigation decisions.
Why We Built It
Every week, growers make irrigation decisions that directly affect yield, quality, and costs. But too often, those decisions rely on assumptions, not field-specific data.
“Knowing how much rain fell yesterday, last week, or across the whole season changes everything,” says Nart Barileva, Verdi’s Head of Data. “Precip’s data fills that gap instantly.”
With Verdi Weather, there’s no hardware to buy or maintain. It’s already embedded in your dashboard, and the data is specific to your farm.
What You Can See
When you open the Verdi Dashboard, click the new Weather button to view the latest data for any field or your full operation:
- Current air temperature, wind speed, and (USA only) soil temperature
- Recent rainfall and snowfall totals, plus last significant precipitation event
- Soil temperature and relative soil moisture (USA only)
- 16-day forecasts and historical weather trends
- Hourly and daily precipitation breakdowns
- Cumulative rainfall graphs comparing recent years to each other and to 30-year normals

No Station? No Problem.
Weather stations can be expensive to install and maintain, and often require switching between platforms to access the data.
Verdi Weather removes that friction.
“This is some of the most accurate historical precipitation data available anywhere,” says Barileva. “It unlocks powerful decisions for every farm, no matter its setup–especially for growers expanding into new blocks or those without a station.”
Weather-Based Irrigation Works
The science is clear: using weather and soil data to guide irrigation saves water and improves yields. For example:
- Save up to 35% water using weather- or soil-based scheduling without yield loss (Sustainability, 2023)
- Increase yields by 3.4 t/ha with weather-based scheduling for blueberries (HortScience, 2024)
- Boost water productivity by 20–30% using forecast-informed irrigation (Journal of Hydrology, 2024)
When you align irrigation schedules with actual field conditions, you eliminate guesswork and maximize ROI, without adding complexity.
Built for Action, Not Just Insight
Unlike standalone weather apps, Verdi Weather appears directly next to your irrigation scheduler. That means you can check conditions and act on them, without toggling tools or copying data.
“By integrating weather where irrigation decisions are made, we make data actionable,” says Roman Kozak, Verdi’s CTO. “The next step is using this data to automate irrigation intelligently.”
Free for Verdi Users
Verdi Weather is live today for all Verdi users in the Contiguous USA (Lower 48) and Canada.
Soil temperature and moisture data are currently available only in the US, with additional data types and regions coming soon.
No hardware. No additional cost. Just better decisions, on demand.
What's Next
“This is just the beginning,” says Arthur Chen, Verdi’s CEO. “We’re building toward AI-driven irrigation recommendations that help every farm, regardless of size or infrastructure, irrigate like a smart farm.”
Features in development include:
- Humidity and evapotranspiration (ETo) tracking
- Custom weather dashboards tailored to each grower
- Intelligent irrigation suggestions based on rainfall and soil data
