Weather Data

Weather data is the lifeblood of the weather market.  For structuring and pricing weather derivatives and for tracking positions during a season, traders, end-users, and portfolio risk managers require:

Historical records of daily observations, typically for at least 30 years

Ongoing daily feeds of prior-day measurements

Short to medium range forecasts of daily weather conditions

RMS and strategic partner Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) provide this full range of historical, ongoing, and forecasted weather data for a series of primary weather stations in all countries with active weather trading.  All data is integrated within the Climetrix system and can be sold or licensed separately.  RMS and EarthSat can also source a wide variety of data for other less commonly-traded stations to assist clients who have specific data needs. 

One critical issue with all weather data is quality and reliability.  RMS and EarthSat have developed an extensive set of proprietary algorithms and procedures for processing data to ensure maximum quality and reliability for weather trading applications.  More than 70% of active traders in the weather market rely on RMS and EarthSat's cleaned daily data and cleaned and enhanced historical data as an integral part of their trading operations.
