Weather is always changing. Depending on how the weather changes can significantly impact upon our daily lives. Being able to mitigate these effects can often prevent immense disruption to both our social and economic well being. Weather is also a global phenomenon that transcends national borders. Weathernews continually monitors global weather from both a macro and micro level, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our global team of more than 400 risk communication experts in close consultation with local sales executives constantly work out new ways to reduce the impact of weather to individuals, businesses, and the community at large. With our constantly expanding network of offices around the word - currently 35 across 14 countries - Weathernews continues to pioneer risk communication contents that meet both a global and local need.

Our services incorporate the latest global-weather observations and forecast data, weather satellite data, aviation weather data, independent observation data, climatological data, and much much more.

On the basis of data gathered moment by moment throughout the world, independent numerical forecasting models are used to simultaneously provide online independent analysis and forecasts throughout the world. These forecasts serve as the foundation for detailed forecasts and services tailored to specific customer needs.

Two databases drive our high-value content and services: The "dekita" database automatically processes a massive amount of various types of weather data gathered from around the world. The "tokimeki" database stores weather and lifestyle related geographical data, vegetation data, health-related data, and data for holidaymakers.

Our systems can provide timely weather data and content using any number of wide spread communication tools: including dedicated digital lines, communication satellites, Internet lines, terrestrial radio, and mobile communication networks.

In addition to providing weather data and content, our "risk communicators" continuously monitor weather data to provide consulting services tailored to the exact needs of customers. Offering weather expertise and a high degree of knowledge regarding specific industries and business areas, risk communicators provide analysis and optimized solutions to weather-related problems while interacting with customers.
