Weather relationship

Formula

ETo = 0.0023×Ra×(Tmean+17.8)×√(Tmax−Tmin) (Hargreaves-Samani 1985)

= 5.0085825779356

Note

This is a simplified model: it applies the published standard formula to the numbers you entered and ignores local terrain, radiation, precipitation type and instrument error. Wind chill is the 2001 NWS/Environment Canada regression, valid at or below 10 °C with wind at or above 4.8 km/h; the heat index is the Rothfusz regression, reliable above about 27 °C; dew point uses the Magnus approximation (a = 17.27, b = 237.7 °C) over liquid water; wet bulb uses Stull's approximation at standard sea-level pressure; pressure and density altitude assume the International Standard Atmosphere and dry air. Do not use these results for aviation, structural or safety decisions without an official forecast or a qualified professional.
