CIMIS Station Data and Irrigation Efficiency Links

Local CIMIS Station Data

CIMIS (California Irrigation Management Information System) is an integrated network of more than 120 computerized weather stations throughout California. The primary purpose of CIMIS is to make information available to the public, free of charge, to improve irrigation scheduling by calculating water use of local crops based on daily weather information. Each CIMIS station records a wide range of useful weather information that will help growers estimate how much water is needed by their crops on a daily basis.

There are four CIMIS stations within the Pajaro Valley area:

• CIMIS station #104 (De Laveaga)
• CIMIS station #129 (Pajaro)
• CIMIS station #209 (Watsonville West - near San Andreas Road)
