When might rain affect the work?
Review precipitation and its time period before scheduling a field visit or outdoor activity.

Plan around changing conditions.
SPIRE weather data helps you review conditions across your working area. Explore forecast maps and location charts to plan field visits, outdoor work and follow-up checks.

- Location-based charts
From map to field plan
Start with the question at your site.
Different activities need different information. Choose the location, time and variable that match the work you are planning.
How might wind change at the site?
Compare forecast wind speed and direction over time using the location chart.
Which areas need a closer check?
Soil-moisture information adds regional context for irrigation and dry-condition reviews. Confirm the selected data layer and coverage.
A location. A timeline. A clearer next step.
After choosing a location, move from the regional map to its time-series chart. The example shows wind speed in metres per second, with arrows indicating wind direction.
- Check that the coordinates represent the intended site.
- Check issue time, time zone, units and the period being shown.
Forecasts are estimates. Combine them with local observations and your operating procedures.
Land and water context
Look beyond a single point.
Compare regional changes to identify where a field check may be useful. Soil-moisture data complements site measurements rather than replacing a sensor at your plot.
Available variables, soil layers, dates and resolution depend on the selected data product. We can help match the service to your area and intended use.
Choose the data that fits your work.
Share the area, variables and timing you need. We will review available data and delivery options with you.
- Area and detail
- Coordinates, area boundaries and the resolution required for your use.
- Time and variables
- Variables, forecast period, update schedule or historical period.
- Access and integration
- Platform access, or formats and API access available in the selected service.
- Reading and validation
- Units, time zone, data limitations and comparison with local measurements.
Make an informed choice
Choose weather data around your working area
Spire supplies weather data; Luwes presents the monitoring and integration context on this page. Start with locations, the work you plan and the information people need to see. A map example is a useful preview, but the available data depends on the selected service.
Forecasts and site measurements answer different questions
A forecast helps plan ahead, while a station records conditions where it is installed. Consider both when teams need a local record and a wider view of approaching weather. A forecast is not a guarantee that rain or wind will occur exactly as shown. Review the latest update and local observations before acting.
Specify the data, not just a number of forecast days
Ask which locations, weather fields, update times and forecast periods are included. Spire offers multiple products and subscriptions; availability differs between them. Older six-day or seven-day examples do not define the package available for your location today. Confirm the exact forecast period, time zone and units in your proposal.
Choose how your team will use the data
Discuss map access, location charts, downloadable files or an API, a connection that lets software request data. Confirm user access, permitted use, subscription charges and integration work. Internet access and service availability affect delivery. Soil-moisture data is a separate product choice and should not be assumed to be a direct sensor reading in your field.
Ask for a location-based example before choosing
Provide the area and the decision you need to support, such as scheduling a field visit or comparing rainfall risks across sites. Ask which example fields are actually available for that area and package. Agree how older forecasts, missing data and changes to the service will be handled, and who checks whether the information is useful in practice.
Questions before you buy
Am I buying a physical weather station?
This page concerns weather data and its use. Physical sensors and an AWS are a separate equipment scope.
Is every Spire data product included?
No. The selected subscription determines access. Specify products, region and permitted use in the proposal.
Does it always forecast seven days?
The forecast period depends on the selected product and delivery. Confirm it rather than treating an example as a fixed package.
Is soil moisture a reading from my farm?
Not necessarily. Check the product's method and coverage; compare with field measurements when local conditions matter.
Can it connect to our application?
Discuss the required data and receiving system. Access, usage rights and integration need confirmation first.
What ongoing costs should I check?
Data subscription, platform access, integration support and any usage-based limits or charges stated in the offer.
