AccuWeather, the most accurate and most used source of weather forecasts and warnings, hosts a large weather database suite, including detailed historical data, real-time data, forecast insights, and weather derivatives. With AccuWeather data, businesses can use the highest quality weather data to make the best decisions in order to optimize their operations, enhance safety, reduce liability and loss, improve performance, and drive efficiency. The AccuWeather Data Suite is the most complete and comprehensive collection of weather and weather-derived datasets that greatly benefit businesses for predictive use cases or implementing a weather targeting strategy, to highlight a few. The AccuWeather weather data includes the most accurate, detailed and localized hourly and daily meteorological information that the users can apply in weather sensitivity analysis to help decision-making, in industries such as agriculture, energy, and retail. The AccuWeather weather-derived data (i.e., indices) is developed specifically for a particular company or industry sector to provide direct business solutions, simplifying the understanding between weather and businesses operations. When generating the weather-derived data, AccuWeather carefully investigates the impacts of weather on each specific business and generates high quality indices that help decision-making. Both the weather and weather-derived AccuWeather datasets are seamlessly delivered to users through various data marketplaces, such as Databricks and Snowflake. Innovative use cases will be explored.
