Our Research
At Weather Intelligence we believe that undertaking our own research is critical to delivering the best possible service to our clients. In this day and age there are so many ways to access weather data but without properly understanding what you are looking at or for what purpose you intend to use the data, misuse of information can occur. Katestone, Weather intelligence’s parent company has been undertaking its own research for over 25 years. Some of it has been published and others are used directly to solve client problems or develop better tools.

There are three key areas that Weather Intelligence is actively undertaking research: 

  1. Proactive Management of Heat stress in animals and humans
  2. Analysis and Interpretation of Seasonal Climate Predictions
  3. Interpretation and presentation of weather data for decision making

We also like to team up with other researches or companies to help solve their unique weather related problems. If there are particular areas of weather or climate that you would like someone to delve into on your behalf please give us a call.

Skillful seasonal forecasts can be used to maximise benefit in good years as well as avoid losses in bad years. A basic question in forecasting is [...]
Applying the Excess Heat Factor algorithm to other heat indices
The Excess Heat Factor (EHF) index was developed in 2014 for use in Australian heatwave monitoring and forecasting. The index takes into account the idea that people acclimatise to their local climate, with respect to its temperature variation across latitude and throughout the year, but may not be prepared for a sudden rise in temperature [...]
