When conditions favour it in Amsterdam

Hours in an average month when conditions meet every threshold this disease declares (2021–2025). Faded bars are months the database does not list the problem as active.

This disease's thresholds: 10–24°C · humidity ≥90% · wet leaves / rain. Every hour in the archive was tested against them.

These come from the ERA5 reanalysis on a roughly 9 km grid, so they describe the area rather than your plot. A shaded, sheltered corner holds leaf wetness longer than open ground, so conditions there can favour it more often than the figure suggests. This is a climate profile, not a forecast — the panel above carries the current risk.

How this compares

Of the 13 locations published here, Amsterdam ranks 2 for hours favouring this disease in a year.

Remove affected material now

Take out the affected leaves, shoots or whole plants before the next wet spell, bag them as you cut, and wash your hands and tools before touching healthy plants.

Scout the planting while temperatures hold between 10°C and 24°C, with humidity above 90%, after rain or heavy dew, while the leaves are still wet. Risk builds after roughly 12 unbroken hours of those conditions, so the morning after such a night is the moment to look.

Soil and crop debris. It waits in the ground or in last season's debris, so removing the plant does not clear the bed. Rotation and debris removal are the working controls.
