Accessing Local Rainfall Data: UGA Weather Station Network

The University of Georgia operates a network of 60 automated weather stations across the state. These stations continuously measure rainfall, soil temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation. All data is freely available to the public at the Georgia Weather website. Gardeners can use real-time soil temperature readings to time critical tasks: plant summer bulbs when soil reaches 65°F, and apply crabgrass pre-emergent when temperatures hit 50°F and rising. Bookmark the station nearest your garden for hyper-local information.
