Anyone seen satellite imagery more recent than july 3rd?

Question

Answer

Your correct I should have specified that I haven't had mny usable images in July. Must be some bad luck and bad timing going on as I haven't noticed more than a few clouds in the sky all month.   😆

Answer

Hi Ryan,

We looked into this, and it looks like we have been getting images of your fields every few days as expected, but unfortunately they've been blocked by clouds for the past few weeks (and the sensors can't assess the crops when clouds are in the way). This is definitely annoying, and one of the inherent limits of satellite imagery.

You can check out the "Raw Image" option - where it's usually pretty easy to visually see if the image was in fact blocked by clouds - you're seeing exactly what the satellite saw.

Also, while we do our best to detect clouds in the images and then filter out images that aren't useful due to cloud cover, this process isn't perfect. There's a filter at the bottom of the images where you can toggle the cloud filter on/off. It's on by default, but if you want to see what an image looked like before we removed any parts of it due to suspected cloud cover, you can turn that off.

Hope this helps and please let us know if there's any questions on this!

Answer

Some of my fields have imagery on the 8th some on the 13th some nothing since July 1st. I don't think it missed a day in June. Pretty inconsistent this summer
