The new version of the MeteoCast® platform — a web-based solution that gathers together all available weather information — marks an important milestone in the company’s range of products and solutions.
A totally new experience that expands the capacity for detailed analysis of weather events and their space-time evolution:
- new graphic interface;
- new user experience and general reorganisation of all available services;
- 3 types of configurations: “Archive”, “Real-time”, “Forecast” to promptly consult the desired information;
- full dataset integration;
- simultaneous display of information from several sources.
The new MeteoCast® interface enables full customisation of weather data search parameters
This MeteoCast® overhaul — created in response to requests and with direct involvement of Radarmeteo clients, particularly those from the insurance sector — is the expression of a corporate vision geared towards transforming the technological objectives reached into product and service innovations, making them available to the end user

KEY INNOVATIONS
Now MeteoCast® can also display other data on the GIS, for example:
- risk indicators for hail, rain, strong wind and SWRI (Severe Weather Risk Index, a composite adversity index developed by Hypermeteo), providing the end user with a detailed territorial risk classification based on exposure to adverse weather events;
- meteorological reanalysis data for ex-post verification of weather events or analysis of the historical evolution of the parameters of interest;
- 10-day forecasts, useful for the ex-ante analysis of expected events (e.g. for their impact on insurance portfolios);
- integration with any additional geo-referenced information of interest to the user (e.g. maps covering flood, seismic, hydro-geological risks, etc.).

RISK MANAGEMENT TOOL UPDATES
The new platform also incorporates developments in the GisMeteotrigger®, Meteotrigger® and Alert Ex-Post® services — the historical support for insurance companies and agricultural associations— used to verify the occurrence of various weather events. The new services are now fully integrated into the MeteoCast® platform, the aim being to optimise the data request management process and reference threshold exceedance consultation.
With this platform one can consult the Alert Ex-Post® adverse weather event monitoring service according to specific user-defined thresholds
