Meet Eddy: Putting Long-Range Weather Forecasts At Your Fingertips
In today's increasingly volatile world, traditional 14-day weather forecasts simply don’t give people the information they need to be prepared. Whether you're planning a vacation, scheduling crucial business operations, or organizing a festival months in advance, uncertainty about weather conditions is an increasing challenge.
Enter Eddy™, Planette's groundbreaking data-driven, AI-powered long-range weather forecasting tool, now available freely to the public to give people the information they need to plan with confidence anywhere in the world.
Bridging the Forecasting Gap
For years, a critical information void has existed between short-term weather predictions and long-term climate projections. Our team at Planette has been hard at work developing operational, user-friendly technology that fills this gap. Now, anyone can access and use quality, long-range weather information.
"After years in the research world, we noticed that not only was there a forecasting dead zone beyond 10 days, there was also a missing link between improved weather forecasts and the insights that consumers and businesses needed from those forecasts," explains Dr. Hansi Singh, Planette CEO and co-founder.
What Makes Eddy Different?
Unlike conventional forecasting tools that focus primarily on atmospheric data, Eddy™ combines atmospheric data with ocean and land inputs. This coupled modeling approach, powered by our unique blend of physics-based models and advanced AI, delivers unprecedented accuracy for long-range predictions.
The result? Eddy™ provides hyper-local long-range weather forecasts, up to:
Four months in advance for individual users
Six months in advance for enterprise customers
Real-World Impact
Eddy™ isn't just a technological achievement; it's a practical tool with tangible benefits across numerous sectors, including:
Travel and Hospitality: Airlines, hotels, and booking platforms can anticipate weather disruptions months in advance, and travellers can schedule trips when the weather is ideal for their travel plans
Event Planning: Wedding coordinators, festival organizers, and sports venues can select optimal dates with greater confidence
Insurance: Providers can better assess and prepare for weather-related risks
Agriculture: Farmers can make more informed planting and harvesting decisions
Logistics and Shipping: Supply chain managers can route deliveries to avoid weather disruptions
Our technology is already making a difference globally. Recently, our team visited the Ethiopian highlands to support agricultural planning with seasonal weather forecasts in partnership with Alabaster International and Deep Impact AI. We're also collaborating with Goodbye Malaria and Nubi AI in South Africa to explore using sub-seasonal forecasts for malaria prevention.
Dr. Kalai Ramea, Planette CTO and co-founder, puts it simply: "Unexpected weather is already disrupting supply chains, destabilizing insurance markets, and threatening lives. The earlier you can see it coming, the more you can do to prepare. That's the gap we're here to close."
