• Planette’s platform bridges the gap between 14-day weather predictions and long-term climate projections, allowing consumers and businesses to plan months ahead
• The first-of-its-kind web application, Eddy, delivers hyper-local, long-range weather forecasts to anyone, globally
• Company’s enterprise API version could be a crucial tool for industries impacted by fluctuating weather, from events to logistics and shipping, unlocking bulk forecasts across multiple locations and timeframes

SAN FRANCISCO: As our weather becomes more volatile and severe, conventional forecasts are too short-term to serve the needs of consumers and businesses. To meet extended planning needs, Planette has made its groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI)-driven long-range weather forecasts accessible to the public for the first time. The company’s weather forecasting tool, Eddy, provides users worldwide with access to detailed, natural-language weather predictions. Now, anyone can access forecasts up to four months in advance, while enterprise users can access up to six months in advance.

"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," said Dr. Hansi Singh, Planette's CEO and co-founder. "Eddy connects all these dots, helping consumers make safer and more confident decisions for vacations, life events, and seasonal planning while injecting certainty into uncertain times for businesses impacted financially by unpredictable weather."

Powered by Planette’s blend of physics-based models and AI, Eddy goes beyond atmosphere modeling alone. Planette combines atmospheric data with ocean and land inputs. This coupled modeling approach fills a critical information gap between traditional short-term weather predictions and long-term climate projections. This type of data is essential for industries like travel and event planning, which face growing economic pressures due to the impact of extreme weather events.

"Planette sits at the intersection of science and action, taking the best available science, applying advanced AI, and turning it into precise, long-range forecasts that businesses and the public can use immediately," said Dr. Kalai Ramea, Planette’s CTO and co-founder. "Extreme 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."

Eddy delivers weather forecasts for any address-level location globally, including information on temperature, precipitation, and other environmental variables. Businesses can obtain a subscription to the enterprise application programming interface (API) version of Eddy, which includes an extended six-month forecast window and bulk queries for multiple locations and timeframes.

Businesses across sectors impacted by weather, including airlines, hospitality chains, online booking platforms, outdoor travel operators, event venues, wedding and festival planners, sports teams, and insurers, can anticipate weather impacts months in advance and take action to protect people, mitigate risks, and tailor their services accordingly.

Planette’s technology supports a range of use cases, including insurance, logistics and shipping, energy, finance, agriculture, infrastructure, and more. The company aims to provide earlier insight into weather conditions that impact timing and safety, enabling businesses, institutions, and consumers to make proactive decisions, thereby saving lives and reducing economic losses.

As an example, Planette has collaborated with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across Africa, including Alabaster International, where the team recently visited the Ethiopian highlands to use seasonal weather forecasts to support agriculture in partnership with Deep Impact AI. On the same trip, they collaborated with Goodbye Malaria and Nubi AI in South Africa to explore using subseasonal weather forecasts to support anticipatory action for malaria prevention.
