The week ahead

The Irrigation outlook shows how the current plan develops over the coming days. Select a day or View zones to open its zone details.

Read a day

Check the date, projected watering status, expected rain, and zone reasons. The plan can include watering for some zones while holding others.

Later days carry forward the earlier days’ projected soil balance, rainfall, and watering. They are not independent copies of today’s decision. Soil capacity and demand affect whether a zone can wait for expected rain.

What can change

New observations, a refreshed forecast, a completed run, or a settings change can alter future days. Forecast uncertainty grows with distance from the present. An unknown or incomplete input is not evidence of dry weather.

Every future day is a projection. At dispatch, LocalSky checks the current evidence and applicable controls before sending a command.

Find the detail you need

  • Why one zone waters: open that day’s zone list.
  • Why the time changed: inspect the planned sequence and weather window.
  • What actually happened: open History, rather than using a later forecast as a record.
  • Which forecast is used: see the main selected forecast under Devices. Extra forecast models serve comparisons and integrations; they do not replace the irrigation forecast.
