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 observation, can now be utilised to optimise Jane’s Weather AI Forecast, providing more accurate insights for growers.
This collaboration is a prime example of how weather telemetry—whether from a weather station, irrigation system, or even a frost fan—can be harnessed for more than its original purpose. It’s not just about observing weather data anymore; it’s about turning that data into an accurate weather forecast in agriculture 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, but with Jane’s Weather AI Forecast, growers can now anticipate frost conditions before they happen.
Untapped Telemetry Potential
FrostBoss fans come equipped with advanced sensors (temperature, wind, etc.). Now, growers can integrate these weather sensors to benefit from a Jane’s Weather AI Forecast tailored to their specific farm conditions.
Expanding Utility Beyond Frost
With this integration, growers receive a hyper-local weather forecast not just for frost risk but also for:
- Spraying conditions – Ensure drift prevention and maximum efficacy.
- Irrigation planning – Use weather forecast in agriculture to optimise water use.
- Evapotranspiration (eTo) – Monitor water loss and improve efficiency.
- Growing Degree Days (GDD) – Track crop development stages.
- Custom weather alerts – Receive notifications for wind, rain, frost, and temperature shifts.
