Climate
Growing Degree Days Calculator
Compute daily Growing Degree Days (GDD) by subtracting a crop-specific base temperature from the average of the day's max and min temperatures. Use accumulated GDD to predict crop development stages.

Climate
Climate Normal Calculator
Compute a climate anomaly as the standardised z-score of a current value against the 30-year average and standard deviation. Values outside ±2 indicate statistically unusual conditions.
