FieldClimate review
FieldClimate connects station data, forecasts, soil moisture, disease models and field planning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
FieldClimate is METOS by Pessl Instruments’ cloud platform for collecting, visualizing and analyzing data from field weather stations and sensors. It is aimed at farmers and agricultural advisers who need local conditions and sensor readings to inform field decisions. Access is available through the web platform and mobile apps, with API access to METOS data and licensed services. The product spans farm sizes from small operations to enterprise, but its basic free services are described as requiring access to a METOS device.
Its breadth is a central strength: alongside site-specific forecasts and weather monitoring, FieldClimate tracks soil moisture by sensor depth, provides plant disease models and sends alerts, including threshold-based warnings. A field device map shows current sensor conditions. Work-planning tools cover field accessibility, tillage, sowing, plant protection and harvest. This makes it broader than a forecast-only service, particularly for farms connecting weather observations to timing decisions. The listed category capabilities also include frost alerts and irrigation guidance.
The ecosystem includes integrations with FieldNET by Lindsay, John Deere, Davis Instruments, Azure FarmBeats, Horta, RIMpro, xarvio and Myirrigation, while web, iOS, Android and API options provide several access routes. According to the vendor’s description, basic services are free with access to a METOS device; additional services, including some forecasts and models, are subscription-based. The published pricing details do not specify tier-by-tier costs, so farms should clarify which services they need and their subscription terms. FieldClimate is a fit for sensor-connected operations that value integrated monitoring and planning; farms seeking a standalone weather service without METOS device access or subscription services may prefer a narrower alternative.
