An on-site weather station that reports for itself.
The weather that matters is the weather at your site, not the airport thirty miles away. Meterra's wireless weather station reports temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and season-to-date totals, a fire-behaviour / fire-danger index, and Delta-T — over cellular, on its own power — into the same app as your tanks, ponds, and dams. One location, one login, water and weather together.
The conditions on site — not at the airport
A forecast for the nearest town tells you about the town. What changes a decision — to start frost protection, to spray or wait, to read the fire danger, to know how much rain actually fell on this field — is the weather where you are. That data has traditionally meant either nothing at all or a station that’s a project to install and a separate screen to check.
Meterra’s weather station is neither. It’s a rugged, self-powered unit that reports the conditions at your site over cellular, into the same app as your water — so the picture is complete and in one place.
What it measures
- Temperature and humidity
- Wind — speed, direction, and average
- Rainfall — current and season-to-date totals
- Fire-behaviour / fire-danger index — for hyperlocal fire awareness
- Delta-T — the spray-timing window, derived from temperature and humidity
Everything lands on the Meterra dashboard with history, trends, configurable alerts, and CSV export.
One app with your water
This is the part that matters: the weather station isn’t a separate system. It reports into the same dashboard, the same map, and the same login as your level sensors, soil-moisture probes, rainfall gauges, and flow meters. How much water a source holds and the conditions around it sit side by side — one smooth view instead of a drawer full of apps.
Where it earns its keep
- Fire weather — wind, temperature, and a fire-danger index next to your water sources.
- Frost protection — the temperature and wind that start a frost night, beside the pond that protects against it.
- Spraying — Delta-T tells you when the window is open.
- Irrigation — local conditions to time water, for farms and turf.
- Stormwater — a logging rain gauge for inspection triggers and reporting.
Built for remote sites
Solar or battery powered, reporting over Verizon’s NB-IoT low-power cellular network with LEO satellite where there’s no coverage. No wiring, no Wi-Fi, no hub — it installs in minutes and runs for years on its own.
A note on scope
Meterra’s weather station is for hyperlocal, on-site awareness and your own decision-making. It is not a certified reference or RAWS station and does not replace official forecasts or warnings from the National Weather Service.
Getting started
Tell us where your site is and what you’re deciding with the weather — frost, fire, spraying, irrigation, or rainfall records — and we’ll set the station up alongside your water.
The hardware for this job
Every device reports to the same Meterra dashboard and app.
Tell us your site and we'll map the right sensors and coverage.
Frequently asked questions
What does the weather station measure?
Temperature and humidity, wind speed, direction, and average, rainfall and season-to-date totals, a fire-behaviour / fire-danger index, and Delta-T — the temperature-and-humidity measure that tells you whether spraying conditions are right. It reports on a schedule to the same Meterra app and dashboard as your water sensors, with history and CSV export.
Can it help with fire weather?
Yes, for hyperlocal awareness. The station reports the wind, temperature, humidity, and a fire-behaviour / fire-danger index right where your water sources and property are, alongside their levels. It supports situational awareness and your own decisions — it is not a certified RAWS and not a replacement for official fire-weather products from the weather service.
What is Delta-T, and why is it on there?
Delta-T is derived from temperature and humidity and is a standard guide to spraying conditions — too high and the spray evaporates before it works, too low and it can drift or sit. Having it on the same screen as your water means a sprayer can read the window and the supply in one place.
Does it work with the water sensors, or is it separate?
Same platform, same app, same login. The weather station, the level sensors, soil-moisture, rainfall, and flow all report into one dashboard and one map, so you see the conditions and the water together instead of juggling tools. That's the whole idea — one smooth view.
Does it need power or Wi-Fi?
No. It's solar or battery powered and reports over Verizon's NB-IoT low-power cellular network, with LEO satellite where there's no cell coverage. Nothing to wire, no hub, no farm Wi-Fi — coverage confirmed for your location first.
What does it cost?
The weather station is an industrial sensor in the Meterra ecosystem, priced per unit plus the same connectivity plan as the rest of your devices — from $10/month per device, with discounts on annual subscriptions. Tell us your site and what you want to watch and we'll get you a number. Every sensor is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty.
