Why businesses need weather forecasts.

• All businesses are affected by weather with UK firms facing a collective ‘weather bill’ in excess of £7.6 billion a year, an amount that is increasing due to shifts in seasonal weather types, global warming and climatic change.
• Weather impacts businesses in most commercial and industrial sectors, including: agriculture, retailing, energy-supply, insurance, leisure and the construction industries.
• According to research:
  Ninety five per cent of companies admit to losing up to 10% of profits due to weather. Weather-related staff lateness & absenteeism costs industry more than £2 billion a year. Almost 20 per cent of businesses say they have been wrong-footed by weather in respect of stock holdings (surpluses and insufficiencies).

In the retail sector.

• When summer heat waves occur supermarkets with plenty of ice, soft drinks, salad produce and other hot weather lines are able to meet the demand for warm weather goods, minimizing the risk of ‘stock-outs’ that disappoint customers and challenge shopper loyalties. In wet autumns and cold winters clothing retailers with ample supplies of rainwear, over-garments and warm clothing will benefit from more sales than their poorly stocked competitors. Research shows that footfalls and consumer buying patterns are significantly influenced by weather; research findings that have implications for all stages of a retail supply chain.
• Accurate weather forecasts will ensure that appropriate merchandise is in stores at the right times, reducing the risk of lost revenue opportunities and the costs associated with or over stocking.

UK Weather Forecast: Thursday 8th May 2008

Many people believe weather forecasting is a state monopoly but this it is not the case. There is an emerging independent weather services sector in the UK, of which Weather Commerce Ltd is a leading member. WeatherSys and its operators actively support regulation of the weather industry and for this reason will accept any scrutiny of its credentials. In any sector there are a small number of 'operators' who are unqualified or use the Internet to present the work of others as their own - this practice is often referred to as 'sponging'. As for any service, normal due diligence procedures should apply when selecting and appointing a weather services provider.

The Problem

Many businesses are not adequately served by ‘one size fits all’ weather forecasts (different businesses have different geographical spreads, organizational structures and weather intelligence needs) and have planning cycles that extend beyond the forecasting time horizons of ordinary weather services.

The Solution:

Weathersys provides businesses with tailor made weather forecasts designed to meet the specific information needs of individual clients and provides specially prepared long range forecasts produced by highly skilled ex military meteorologists. The service is based on advanced web-based technologies to ensure forecasts and forecast updates are available simultaneously throughout an enterprise, irrespective of its size or geographical distribution.
