Forecast Correction

Rainmachine algorithm correct forecast data with most recent weather data. This works best if you have a local weather service enabled. 

Rain Sensitivity

Rain Sensitivity allows for an arbitrary attenuation of the forecasted rainfall amount. As a result, particularities such as non-uniformity, runoff or overall rain forecasting confidence can be adjusted. Considering only 80% of the rainfall amount is a conservative approach that will cover most situations. Decreasing rain sensitivity will increase the amount of irrigation water used because a lower amount of rain water would be considered in the algorithm. In an ideal world, rain sensitivity should be 100%.

Wind sensitivity

Wind Sensitivity allows for an arbitrary attenuation of the forecasted wind speed amount.
