Legend & parameters

Field trend status

Improving: the field is drying out (getting firmer / less wet).
Steady: little net change either way.
Deteriorating: the field is wetting up.
Rapidly deteriorating / Saturating: wetting up quickly, or already very wet.
Extreme drying: drying very fast; the surface may harden.

Surface type and drainage carry real weight in this calculation, not just the weather itself. A synthetic, free-draining field can show a different status to a natural, poor-draining field under identical weather.

Per-period status (morning / afternoon / evening)

Drying / Slight drying: losing water over that period.
Steady: roughly no change.
Wetting: gaining water.
Heavy wetting: gaining water quickly.

Parameters

Rainfall: forecast precipitation total (shown as a range).
Temp: air temperature range for the period.
Humidity: average relative humidity.
Evapotranspiration: water lost from the turf to the air; the main thing that dries a field, and it happens mostly in daylight.
Cloud cover: average cloudiness over the period.
UV index: peak ultraviolet level.
Wind (avg / gust): average wind speed and the strongest gust.

Field settings

Surface: natural turf or synthetic.
Drainage: how quickly the ground sheds water (free, average or poor). Poor-draining fields wet up faster and dry slower.
Grass type: warm-season or cool-season; affects how fast the turf dries.

Warnings

FrostTemperatures low enough for frost; the surface may be hard or frozen.
HeatHot conditions (from 34°C, or extreme from 40°C).
ThunderstormsConditions that can support thunderstorms (possible, or severe possible).
Heavy rainIntense rainfall (about 10mm in an hour, or 25mm in a day).
Strong windStrong gusts (around 60km/h or more).
FrostThe triangle marker means the higher-severity band of that warning - e.g. surface actually frozen/hard, extreme heat, or severe (not just possible) thunderstorms - rather than a milder risk of the same type.

7 day outlook

The coloured squares show each day's direction, and the trend line summarises where the week is heading. A "drying window" is a run of drying days; a "wetting build-up" is a run of wetting days.

Outfield shows the direction and rate of change of field conditions from the weather, not the actual ground moisture, and it does not decide whether a field is open or closed.
