Artificial Intelligence and Weather.

The analysis of historical weather data makes it possible to identify connections between the weather and the performance of a company. As a result, planning can be improved and the company's success can be increased.

More and more companies are automating various processes that are important to them with the help of AI-based systems. In this context, the inclusion of historical weather data can be extremely useful. Based on past data, future demand, utilization, performance, etc. can be forecast. This in turn gives the company the opportunity to better plan personnel deployment, purchasing, delivery times, delays, security measures, etc.

For which period do you offer weather data?

MetGIS currently offers weather data for up to 10 years in the past. Due to climate change, the use of older weather data for many applications (AI training, averaging and extreme value formation) makes little sense. However, if required, we are also happy to provide data beyond our currently posted availability periods.

What weather parameters do you offer?

Our historical weather databases comprise the following parameters: Temperature, precipitation, fresh snow, wind direction and strength, relative humidity, cloudiness, sunshine duration and global radiation. 

Other parameters are available on request. 


How do I receive a customer account, and what do I get out of it?

You set up a customer account when you order a free API key for developers, or when you make your first purchase in the web shop. Your customer account simplifies subsequent purchases, helps you manage your orders, allows you to reset your password and view access statistics.

How do I keep control over my API access?

With our API Monitoring Tool, accessible with your customer login, you can see your packages and statistics at a glance. You will also receive email alerts well before you have used up your ordered API calls.

How much does historical weather data cost?

Price of historical weather data depends on the amount of needed data (time resolution, data years, number of parameters, etc.). For details on the costs, please refer to our price overview.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT METGIS

What does MetGIS stand for?

"Met" stands for meteorology and "GIS" is the acronym for geographic information systems. The link between these two makes MetGIS weather forecasts so accurate. Weather data are combined with detailed terrain data. This improves our forecasts enormously, especially in difficult terrain. 

How did MetGIS arise?

It all began as a university-based research project. 10 years later experts from Europe, Russia, South America and Japan had developed the MetGIS algorithms. Several verification studies displayed a baffling accuracy. When more and more customers started knocking on the door MetGIS was founded. 

What is MetGIS GmbH all about?

From our headquarters in the picturesque Viennese city centre we serve business clients all around the world in English, German and Spanish. By providing ultra-precise data, analyses and forecasts we help you make better business decisions and work more efficiently. More at metgis.com.
