The Weather Company combines AI and advanced weather science with human expertise to provide the most accurate weather forecast.
Better accuracy means better decisions
The Weather Company is 3x more likely to be accurate than the nearest competitor1
In today’s climate, having access to the most precise weather intelligence can make all the difference. For businesses, it enhances operations, risk management, and strategic planning. For consumers, it’s all about lifestyle, managing health, and staying safe.
Of all commercial weather providers, The Weather Company is the most open about what goes into our forecast, how we create it, and how accuracy is measured. Powered by proprietary GRAF technology (Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting), our commitment to accuracy is evident in the growing performance gap between The Weather Company and our competitors. Since 2017, we’ve distanced ourselves from the competition, going from being 2x to more than 3x more accurate than our closest competitor, even with additional providers entering the market.
According to ForecastWatch, the premier organization for evaluating the accuracy of weather forecasts, The Weather Company is more likely to be the most accurate and reliable weather forecaster across all geographic regions studied (U.S., Canada, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific) and time periods covered. The conditions studied included 84 accuracy metrics covering precipitation, temperature, cloud cover, wind, and other key forecast variables.
The Weather Company advantage
Our decades of meteorological expertise, deep understanding of consumer behavior, and data science proficiency are the bedrock of our business, fuel continuous innovation, and drive societal progress.
We create our forecasts on demand, meaning they are designed for the end user at the exact moment they are requested, providing the freshest and most recent information possible. No other provider offers this level of personalization.
We employ a team of over 100 meteorologists – actual scientists who are passionate about their craft, supported by decades of experience and meteorologic expertise.
Our meteorologists work in parallel with forecasting models and AI technology. This unique collaboration of humans and machines enables speed to market, resulting in the best end-user experience and freeing people to focus on adding value and context rather than serving as information gatekeepers.
The Weather Company creates its forecast by combining a unique blend of the industry’s best forecast models, science, and technology. Rather than relying on a singular model or approach, we leverage AI to synthesize and optimize multiple methods suited to specific forecast elements, seamlessly integrating them to create a differentiated end user experience.
We take a collaborative rather than competitive approach to forecasting, partnering with organizations like the National Center for Atmospheric Research to share and improve our methodology and companies like NVIDIA to advance AI-based weather forecasting and visualization capabilities. This enables earlier and deeper access to the collective body of meteorological science and technology from all over the world.
No bandwagons here. We follow the highest industry standards in adopting and implementing new data and methods. With decades of experience leveraging AI and Machine Learning in creating our forecast, you can be confident that the technology we employ truly makes a difference for the end user.
