Growing Degree Days Calculator

Any field location worldwide · Open-Meteo daily min/max · base temperature per crop · optional 30 °C cap

Type a place (or coordinates), pick the period and a base temperature, and get the accumulated growing degree days from real station-model weather data.

The formula, exactly

Daily GDD = max(0, (Tmax + Tmin)/2 − Tbase), summed over the period — with the standard agronomic option of capping Tmax at 30 °C (the modified method used for maize). Weather comes from Open-Meteo's free archive API, fetched directly by your browser — your location query goes to Open-Meteo, not to this site, and nothing is stored here.
