Weathernews provides the tools and resources necessary to access this critical information used in daily agricultural decisions.

 

Customized Forecasts to Fit Your Needs

Weathernews stands apart from other weather companies because we analyze environmental data and prepare weather forecasts tailored to each client's individual requirements. Our "farm-specific" forecasts enable clients to better understand the impact weather may have on their acreage and make decisions to avert the potential associated risks.

 

Easy and immediate distribution of these weather forecasts and advisories is critical to the protection of farms, crops and agribusinesses, so Weathernews offers a variety of information distribution channels from telephone, fax and e-mail, to web, pager and automated alarms.

 

To initialize and verify the forecasts, Weathernews uses remote, automated weather stations in locations where weather observations are not readily available. These remote automated weather observations, unavailable to other meteorological firms, allow Weathernews to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of each forecast.
