On July 29th, the greenhouse transitioned from a quiet morning into a bright, energetic afternoon. Light levels surged from 401 lux to a peak of 12,461 lux, bringing a noticeable rise in temperature that reached a high of 31.79°C by midday.

As the heat intensified, humidity levels dropped from 53.5% to 26.8%. Despite these drier conditions, the herbs remained well-insulated; internal temperatures for the basil, chilli, and oregano stayed remarkably stable, hovering consistently around 22°C throughout the observation period.

Hydration remains optimal, with soil moisture sensors for all three varieties reporting a steady 100% saturation. This consistent moisture is helping the plants manage the afternoon warmth effectively, confirming that the irrigation system is performing its job perfectly even as the sun peaks.

Visually, the greenhouse is a picture of vitality. The basil is lush and vibrant, while the chilli plant shows exciting progress with a small, healthy green fruit now visible among the branches. Both plants appear strong and well-supported, thriving in the peak summer light.
