Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a risk of damage to a crop on an agronomic field are described. In an embodiment, a computer system receives, for each hour of a first day, weather data identifying temperature values and humidity values associated with a geographic location. The computer system determines, for a particular hour of the first day, that a temperature value is within a first range of values and a humidity value is within a second range of values and, in response, identifies the particular hour as a risk hour. The computer system computes, for a second day, a risk value for one or more agronomic fields at the geographic location based, at least in part, on one or more identified risk hours between a day of planting a crop on the one or more agronomic fields and the second day. The computer system determines that the risk value is above a risk value threshold and, in response, determines that the crop on the one or more agronomic fields is at risk of suffering damage from a particular crop damaging factor. The computer system stores data indicating that the crop is at risk of suffering damage from the particular crop damaging factor.
