Whether you need forecast information for individual or corporate use, or for broad dissemination over the Internet, we can tailor a product suite to meet your needs.
WeatherMarkets.com's comprehensive array of commodity-related weather products divides into these broad categories:
 Weather
Graphics
 We produce more than 600 graphics which update as frequently as every
15 minutes. Our coverage is worldwide and industry specific, including
temperatures, precipitation, radar, satellite, heating, cooling and
growing degree days, soil moisture, and more. Most graphics are full-color
GIF maps, optimized for the Internet, including topography where applicable.
Depending on the amount of weather activity depicted, our graphics range
in size from about 15,000 bytes to about 50,000 bytes. Our standard
image size is 640 x 460 pixels. Other sizes can be created to meet your
specifications.
Weather
Text Reports
Our text reports include short- and medium-term outlooks, summaries,
and other forecasts. We focus almost solely on the commodity markets,
covering all the major crop-growing regions around the world. Our energy
forecasts are regional, tied to power and gas trading patterns, and
our shipping forecasts focus on the major oil loading and offloading
areas of the world. WeatherMarkets.com's text reports are in plain ASCII
format, making the file small and easily incorporated into web sites
or intranets.
Weather
Data Products
Our data products include CityCast®, for hourly energy demand forecasting
and trading worldwide, CountyCast®, for the U.S. agricultural markets
and CountryCast® for daily energy, agricultural and shipping forecasts
around the world. In addition, we provide weather observations, for
some 2,000 hourly locations as part of HourWeather® and for more than
4,500 daily locations worldwide.
Specialty
Agricultural Products
In addition to our core weather-based products, we are the exclusive
provider of The GreenReport®, which uses proprietary infra-red satellite
data analysis to depict crop and vegetation conditions throughout North
America, with comparisons to the previous year and to long-range averages.
Delivery & Pricing
Our products can be delivered via file transfer protocol (FTP) push, FTP pull, or e-mail.
We recommend FTP push because it delivers the products as soon as they are updated. Timely delivery is particularly crucial in the case of radar, hourly conditions graphics, and hourly observations.
Our pricing is scaled to the ultimate end use for the products.
