"Most Kenyan farmers still guess when to irrigate. We want to make that a thing of the past."
— NuaSense team, installing a weather station in the field
Real-time temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall and atmospheric pressure — streamed from your farm's IoT weather station, direct to your phone. The station can also function as a LoRaWAN gateway for nearby sensors.
Drought, unexpected frost, late rains — none of these are surprises if you have a station on your farm. NuaSense weather stations run on solar power, use IoT connectivity, and send alerts before the crisis hits. They can also function as LoRaWAN gateways for nearby farm sensors.
Each NuaSense weather station captures the full atmospheric picture your farm needs — updated every 15 minutes, logged in the cloud, delivered to your WhatsApp or SMS.
A single NuaSense weather station placed at field height covers your entire farm microclimate. The IoT station sends data to our cloud every 15 minutes and can function as a LoRaWAN gateway for nearby sensors.
Combine real-time rainfall, temperature and solar radiation data to calculate exact evapotranspiration. Irrigate only when your crops need it — reducing water use by up to 30% without affecting yield.
Late blight thrives above 80% humidity and 18°C. Stem borer outbreaks correlate with wind patterns. Our station triggers alerts when conditions cross risk thresholds — giving you a 24–48 hour response window.
At altitude farms in Nyeri, Meru and Nyandarua, nighttime temperatures can drop below 10°C and damage sensitive crops. Automated frost alerts at 2 AM beat a sunrise shock every time.
Wind speed above 12 km/h causes pesticide drift — wasting product and contaminating neighbours' crops. Wind direction data tells you exactly when it is safe to spray. Solar radiation peaks guide optimal harvest windows.
Built for tropical conditions — IP67 waterproofing, 12V sealed battery backup, UV-stabilised housing. Certified for use in Kenya.
