How to Use Historical Data
Historical soil temperatures help you plan ahead. By looking at the same month in previous years, you can estimate when soil will warm enough for seeding or when the pre-emergent window typically opens in your area.
For example, if April historically averages 52°F and this April is running 48°F, expect seeding to be delayed by roughly one week. Soil temperature lags air temperature by days or weeks, so historical ground data is more reliable than weather forecasts alone.
