Accounting for weather between waterings

Hi--I have a basic question about the RainMachine algorithm. Say I have a program that waters my trees once a week (every Sunday). Will the RainMachine determine how much to water my trees based on the weather just on the day of watering, or based on the weather over the entire 1-week period since the last watering? For example, say Tues-Friday are extremely hot and dry, but then temperatures return to normal by Sunday. Will the watering time on Sunday be increased to account for the temporary hot/dry period Tues-Friday?

Thanks!

Derek

  RainMachine will account for all weather data, evapotranspiration and rain between the irrigation periods, so yes in your example the watering will take Tue/Fri into account.
