New High Humidity Alerts in Vienor: Detect Sustained Humidity in Your Fields
Vienor now includes high humidity alerts to detect sustained periods of relative humidity above a configurable threshold for each field.
Vienor is adding another way to make weather forecasts more actionable and less manual.
You can now create a high humidity alert for each field and receive a notification when relative humidity remains above a defined threshold for several consecutive hours.
The alert is not designed to react to a single isolated spike. It detects sustained periods.
For example:
Alert me if relative humidity stays above 90% for at least 3 consecutive hours.
If the forecast contains a sequence that meets that condition within the configured forecast window, Vienor generates the alert automatically. It joins the existing automatic weather alerts configured for each field.
Why duration matters
A single hour of high humidity may not be meaningful on its own.
The context changes when the condition persists for several hours.
That is why the new alert lets users configure two variables:
- Humidity threshold, expressed as a percentage.
- Minimum duration, expressed in consecutive hours.
This helps avoid alerts caused by short-lived changes and focuses attention on more persistent events.
For example, a rule configured at 90% for 3 hours would trigger for:
- 02:00 — 91%
- 03:00 — 93%
- 04:00 — 95%
It would not trigger if those high-humidity hours were separated by lower readings.
Per-field configuration
Like the other Vienor alerts, high humidity rules are configured independently for each field.
This lets users adapt thresholds according to location, season and the type of monitoring they need.
Users can also define how far ahead the system should evaluate the forecast through the rule's forecast window.
Vienor automatically evaluates hourly forecast data and periodically checks the conditions again.
What the alert shows
When a period meets the configured rule, Vienor records information such as:
- event start;
- estimated duration;
- maximum humidity;
- average humidity;
- configured threshold.
The goal is not simply to say “humidity is high”, but to provide context about the magnitude and duration of the forecast event.
One variable within a broader weather context
Relative humidity can matter for different operational decisions, but it should not be interpreted in isolation.
Temperature, rainfall, wind, cloud cover and other variables can change the context significantly.
For that reason, Vienor does not present this alert as an agronomic diagnosis or disease prediction.
Its purpose is simpler: automatically detect a weather condition that you defined as relevant and notify you when it appears in the forecast.
Six alert types in Vienor
With this addition, Vienor now supports alerts for:
- frost;
- strong winds;
- rainfall;
- heat waves;
- storms;
- high humidity.
All of them are configured per field and evaluated automatically against forecast data.
The new high humidity alert is already available in Vienor.
You can create it from the Alerts section, select a field, define the humidity percentage and choose how many consecutive hours the condition must persist.
