Weather Condition

WeatherCondition captures the field conditions at the time of a site visit, which can affect sample quality, water levels, and regulatory defensibility.

Field technicians record the WeatherCondition at the start of every site visit. Options include Clear, Cloudy, Rain, Snow, Fog, and Windy. Weather affects groundwater readings — heavy Rain can raise water table levels, while Fog or Windy conditions may indicate barometric pressure changes that affect depth-to-water measurements. Regulatory agencies often require weather notation in field logs to contextualize any anomalous readings collected during the visit.
