Daily Log/Site Diary - Weather report in Daily Log
The weather in your project’s Daily Log is taken from the closest weather station to your project’s address.
We store a snapshot of your site’s weather data at 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM daily, including temperature, precipitation and wind.
We show and save your project’s weather from the date your project is created. Your project’s Daily Log will display the weather forecast for the next 7 days.
Note: If your project address is entered manually when it was created (instead of selecting an address from Google’s pre-defined list), your project’s weather may not be displayed.
