Farm Rainfall Tracking, Deciles and Weather Alerts

Record Rainfall by Farm

Record daily rainfall for each farm from your own rain gauge, or import a month or the full season from Long Paddock. Days you type in yourself are never overwritten by an import, and the message after an import tells you how many of your own days were kept.

Automated Weather Data

P2PAgri can pull historical and recent rainfall data automatically for your farm location, using Long Paddock SILO, the Queensland Government's climate record built from Bureau of Meteorology observations. Set your location and let the system do the rest.

How Does This Season Compare?

The Rainfall page ranks this season's rainfall at your farm against every year since 1900, on the Bureau of Meteorology's decile scale, and says it in one line, such as "Season to date 236.4 mm. Decile 6, average. 1 Jul to 9 Sep compared with 1900 to 2025 at this location." The season so far is only ever compared with the same dates in earlier years.

A chart shows the season's running total through shaded decile bands, with your own gauge drawn over the top and three dashed lines showing where the season would finish in a decile 1, decile 5 or decile 9 run from here. Those lines are not a forecast. Monthly bars are coloured by decile, and you can rank the season, growing season, financial year, calendar year or a single month.

Weather Alerts for Frost, Heat Stress, Storms and Heavy Rain

P2PAgri watches the forecast for your farm's location and sends you an alert when damaging weather is on the way. Alerts cover the events that matter most to Australian farm businesses:

• Frost warnings, so you can plan around frost-sensitive crops and stock
• Heat stress alerts, so you can get ahead of extreme heat before it hits your livestock
• Heavy rainfall warnings ahead of big falls
• Storm alerts before severe weather arrives

Notifications That Arrive When It Matters

Weather alerts arrive in real time inside P2PAgri, along with a live weather widget on your dashboard showing current conditions and the 7-day forecast for your farm. Because alerts are based on your farm's GPS location from your farm map, you get warnings for your property, not the nearest town.

Monthly Rainfall Statistics & Water Use Efficiency

See monthly rainfall summaries and trends over time. See how this season ranks against every year since 1900 at your location, on the Bureau's decile scale. Free tools like DPIRD's Rainfall to Date do this for Western Australian weather stations. P2PAgri does it for any farm in Australia, at the farm's own location, with your own gauge on the same chart. Rainfall data feeds directly into P2PAgri's crop water use efficiency (WUE) calculator, one of the most important benchmarks for dryland farming.
