2024: Increased Moisture – Insights from Decentlab Sensors

As we reflect on the year, we'd like to share an interesting fact revealed by our DL-SMTP sensors in Switzerland: this year, the measurements showed a significant increase in moisture compared to the dry four years of the past. Particularly at locations like the one shown in our demo, where sensors were deployed across Switzerland, there were no prolonged dry spells during the summer, which was a welcome change compared to previous years.

Unlike the extremely dry summers of recent years, 2024 was notably wetter and thus more beneficial for nature. This is confirmed by preliminary soil water status data from TreeNet. This year marked a period with significantly fewer drought phases in Switzerland, providing a solid foundation for ecological balance.

Stay tuned for further updates and take advantage of our public demo dashboardsto track moisture levels in real-time at various locations across Switzerland.
