VayuMet's Agriculture layer maps near-surface soil conditions across India from NOAA GFS — volumetric soil moisture and soil temperature in the top 0–10cm layer, the depth most relevant to seed germination and early crop root development.

What's on the Map

Soil Moisture 0-10cm — volumetric soil moisture (%) in the top soil layer, relevant to sowing timing, irrigation scheduling and drought stress monitoring.
Soil Temperature 0-10cm — soil temperature (°C) in the top soil layer, relevant to germination timing and frost risk at the root zone.

For rainfall relevant to sowing and irrigation planning, see the Rainfall Forecast page; for seasonal precipitation and temperature outlooks ahead of the sowing window, see the Monsoon 2026 Monitor.
