At Jane’s Weather, we’re always looking for new ways to bring hyper-local weather forecasting to the people who need it most. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with FrostBoss®, a leader in frost protection technology. What started as a conversation with Scott Gerard of Glenlofty Wines turned into an exciting discovery - the weather telemetry on FrostBoss frost fans at the estate, designed for frost event observation, can now also be used to optimise their Jane’s Weather AI Forecast.
This collaboration is an incredible example of how weather telemetry, whether from your weather station, irrigation system, and now - even a frost fan, can be harnessed for more than its original purpose. It’s now not just about observing weather data - it’s about turning that data into accurate, actionable weather forecasts at your unique spot for smarter farming.
Reactive to Proactive Frost Management
FrostBoss frost fans are trusted worldwide for mitigating frost damage, pulling warmer air to ground level to protect crops like grapes, almonds, and citrus. These fans are excellent at responding to frost events in real-time.
Untapped Telemetry Potential
FrostBoss fans come equipped with advanced sensors (temperature, wind, etc.) Growers can now integrate these weather sensors to benefit from a Jane’s Weather AI Forecast tailored to their unique climate in their fan block.
Expanding Utility Beyond Frost
Not only can you stay ahead with a hyper local frost risk forecast, you can also accurately plan for ideal spraying, irrigation, evapotranspiration (eTo), Growing Degree Day’s (GDD) and more.
Jane’s Weather Meets FrostBoss
Jane’s Weather now integrates FrostBoss fan telemetry into our hyper-local AI Forecast Platform. This partnership unlocks new capabilities for FrostBoss customers.
