A live at-a-glance overview of 14 key course metrics on your Today dashboard

4 min read·Updated April 2026·🧠 AI & Intelligence

The Course Conditions Strip sits near the top of your Today dashboard and shows 14 live metrics across two rows — so you can read the state of the course at a glance before you plan your day.

Two rows of 14 tiles showing live weather, growth, and turf health data

What the two rows show

Each tile has a coloured accent bar at the top — green means conditions are good, amber is a caution, and red means something needs attention. The colours are aligned with the full Turf Intelligence page so you'll see the same thresholds in both places.

Row 1 — Weather & Growth

Temperature

Air temperature in °C. Shows the feels-like temperature below. Green when conditions are suitable for growth (5–22°C), amber when warm, blue when cold.

Humidity

Relative humidity percentage. Amber above 75%, red above 85% — high humidity increases disease pressure, especially overnight.

Wind

Wind speed in mph with direction below. Amber above 15 mph, red above 25 mph. Useful for spray decision-making at a glance.

Precipitation

Chance of rain as a percentage, with expected mm shown below. Amber above 25%, red above 60%.

Growth Potential

A 0–100% index showing how actively your turf is likely to be growing right now, based on temperature and species thresholds.

ETâ‚€

Evapotranspiration in mm — how much water the turf is losing to evaporation and transpiration today. Useful for irrigation planning.

GDD

Growing Degree Days accumulated today. Helps track biological development such as worm activity, disease cycles, and growth flushes.

Row 2 — Turf & Disease

Soil Moisture

Estimated volumetric soil moisture percentage from the Turf Intelligence model. Shows a status label (Adequate, Drying, Deficit etc.) below the number.

Soil Temp 10cm

Soil temperature at 10cm depth. Uses the same thresholds as air temperature — a cold soil (blue) tells you not to expect significant root activity even on a warm day.

Fusarium

Predicted risk percentage for Fusarium patch. Amber at 40%+, red at 60%+.

Dollar Spot

Predicted risk percentage for Dollar Spot. Same amber/red thresholds as Fusarium.

Anthracnose

Predicted risk percentage for Anthracnose. Same amber/red thresholds as the other disease tiles.

Delta-T

The difference between dry bulb and wet bulb temperature in °C — the key indicator for spray window conditions. Shows a label below the number. Green when ideal (2–8°C), amber when marginal (8–10°C), red when too low (<2°C, droplets won't set) or too high (>10°C, spray dries too fast).

Irrigation Need

Estimated water deficit in mm from the irrigation balance model. Green when the soil is adequate or surplus, amber when there's a deficit, red when critical. Shows "None" when no irrigation is needed.


How do I know where I am?

Every tile is a link — tap or click any tile to open the full Turf Intelligence page, where you'll find charts, forecasts, and the detailed breakdown behind each number.

All from one data source

All 14 tiles pull from the same Turf Intelligence data fetch — there are no extra network requests. The data refreshes every 5 minutes and is shared with the rest of the app.


Colour key

| Colour | Meaning | |--------|---------| | Green accent | Conditions are good or within target range | | Amber accent | Caution — worth monitoring or planning around | | Red accent | Action likely needed — check the full TI page | | Grey accent | Data not available for this metric |


On mobile

On phones, the two rows of seven tiles reflow into a 4-column grid — 4 tiles across the top half, 3 below — so everything stays readable without needing to scroll sideways. On tablets and larger screens you'll see both rows in the full 7-column layout.

Quick morning check

The strip is designed to be read top-to-bottom in about ten seconds. Green across the board means a straightforward day. Any amber or red tiles tell you where to look before you start planning.
