Overview
Real Weather Watch uses your farm's saved location (set it with Grow it where you live) and a 3-day forecast from Open-Meteo, checked every few hours. When something is coming today or tomorrow, the game gives you a heads-up once on this device: a card in 2D, or a tip in 3D.
What it watches for
| Alert | Trigger | What real growers do |
|---|---|---|
| ❄️ Frost | Low of 32°F or colder | Cover first-year plants with frost cloth overnight; don't prune now |
| 🥶 Hard freeze | Low of 25°F or colder | Cover first-year plants and make sure the soil drains; hold off pruning until spring |
| 🔥 Heat wave | High of 90°F or more | Water new plants deeply in the early morning; don't prune |
| 🌧️ Soaking rain | 1 inch of rain or more | Skip watering, pull mulch back from the stems, check drainage |
| 💨 High wind | Gusts of 40 mph or more | Stake young plants; harvest blooming bundles before the storm |
| 🌨️ Snow | 1 inch of snow or more | Leave the snow on the plants and stay off the rows |
| 🌤️ A perfect farm day | 62–82°F, dry and calm | Plant, weed or harvest in the morning once the dew is dry |
Getting ready
- Each alert card has ✅ I'm ready (+25 XP). Each alert can be claimed once.
- The card also says what the weather means for your farm in the game.
- The page counts how many times you've been weather-ready.
Real-world note
These tips come straight from the game's weather cards: wet, frozen roots hurt lavender more than cold alone, and snow acts as a warm blanket.
