What Can You Do with the ClimaCell Weather API?
So many industries are affected by the weather. Construction companies can’t build when the weather is bad. Utilities need to ramp up power delivery when the need is greatest. Companies with workers who go outside need to ensure the safety of their workers. Online shopping increases during certain weather patterns, and declines during others. Sports teams need to take precautions depending on the weather. We’re here to make sure your business can scale, optimize, and keep people safe based on weather conditions.
Historical Data:
- Understand how weather affects your business so you can plan more efficiently
- Get past weather information on a global basis
- Analyze past events with our meteorologist-approved data
Real-time Information:
- Don’t be fooled by weather that’s only near the location you care about – get the weather exactly where you care, globally
- Get the most accurate current weather information
- Know when it’s raining, snowing, windy, hot, and much more
Forecasting:
- See into the future with best-in-the-industry, minute-by-minute forecasts (up to 15 days)
- Plan more effectively and make sure the weather doesn’t catch you off guard
- Make sure you have enough bandwidth on peak days
Alerts:
- Prepare for inclement weather with our proactive alerting that are sent up to 6 hours in advance of an event
- Make sure your users stay safe
- Minimize the risk of damage caused by weather
Map Layers:
- Visualize weather conditions on your own maps with a high level of detail
- Plan activities based on current, past, and future weather states
- See many weather conditions, including temperature, precipitation, visibility, clouds, and more
Some of our smartest customers use historical weather data to map when their demand is low (or high!), and then use that information to plan future business decisions, using ClimaCell’s forecasting capabilities. For instance, if you know that demand for your service drops when the weather is bad, you could decrease supply (say, have fewer people work), or increase demand by offering an incentive to use the service.
In other cases, people need to know when the weather will be bad for a certain activity. Some tasks are dangerous to perform in different weather conditions. For example, you wouldn’t want workers out when there’s going to be hail. ClimaCell’s proactive alerting capability can alert you 6 hours prior to weather conditions. We let you choose whether we should send a message to your users, or to send the alert to a webhook so that you can manage operations centrally.
