Wind is a multiplier
Temperature tells you how much energy is available for evaporation. Wind replaces the humid air sitting around a leaf or soil surface with drier air, so the same temperature can feel much more drying on a breezy day.
Shelter is useful information
A plant behind a wall, in a courtyard, or under a balcony may experience less drying wind than the nearest weather station. Treat the forecast as the outdoor baseline, then adjust your soil check for your microclimate.
Watch pots on exposed corners
Hanging baskets and small pots are especially sensitive because they have little soil volume. On windy days, check them earlier than plants in the ground.
