The lawn-mowing weather app

Know when to mow — and when to skip.

Knowday combines recent rain, forecast drying, modeled soil moisture, and heat. Inspect your grass and ground before mowing.

What matters for mowing

The reads that decide a cut.

Mow before the rain

Mow soon

Knowday spots the closing dry window. Rain starts Thursday — so it tells you to catch today, not guess at the radar.

Modeled moisture — inspect first

Moderate est.

The soil-moisture model helps flag rut and clumping risk. Inspect the actual grass and ground before mowing.

How fast it's drying out

Drying

After rain, Knowday reads how fast the lawn is drying — slow, normal, or fast — so you know whether it's a day or two until it's mow-ready.

Too hot to cut

Heat

Cutting in real heat stresses the grass. Pushing 90°, Knowday says cut high and easy — or wait for cooler air.

How it works

How Knowday thinks about mowing.

It models the soil moisture, the last day's rain, the dry window before the next rain, the heat, and the wind — and reads how fast the lawn's drying after a soak.

Everything is modeled near you, not measured in your yard, so inspect shady low corners. Morning dew is not measured either — check the grass before mowing.

Mowing is one of sixteen plans Knowday reads — walks and rides, the lawn, the garden, camping, the night sky, and the water.
