ABSTRACT – Digital transformation has given numerous new possibilities for improvement of all industries through creation of new business processes or changes to existing ones. Agriculture, specifically, has experienced a “rebirth” through the use of digital technologies such as sensor networks, drones, satellites and similar, which has received a name Agriculture 2.0. Meteorological data management systems found their use in agriculture decision supporting solutions, as well. However, there are some challenges, these solutions are only as good as the data made available to them and implementing a system for acquiring quality data may be very expensive. The research described in this paper aims to solve these issues by using multiple publicly available free weather data sources and analyzing it to get the best possible results. The proposed system builds on acquired and analyzed data to provide users with features such as reliable notifications and machine/equipment automation.
