Soil wetness explorer

UKCEH have produced an app showing high-resolution (50m) daily estimates of soil moisture across Great Britain.

This can be used to inform decision on the timing of agricultural management actions affected by soil moisture (such as tillage and seed drilling) and when crops might require additional water from irrigation.

These maps were originally developed for the monthly UK Hydrological Outlook, where additional information about the water situation across Great Britain can be viewed. 

The rainfall and temperature data used in the soil wetness explorer are provided by the Met Office under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
