Sometimes successful events don't need much and can be ensured by bringing along an umbrella and an extra pullover. But you need the information.
Forecasts for Success
Organizers and authorities increasingly recognize the strategic need for weather information. They demand more accurate local forecasts as well as richer real-time information of the prevailing conditions around the venues.
The key-element in creating accurate weather forecasts is real-time weather observations.
Knowing the prevailing conditions of temperature, wind, precipitation, humidity, atmospheric pressure etc. is an absolute must in order to produce weather forecasts. Without this information it is not possible to provide needed weather services to the users.
Strategic Business
These demands put more pressure on local weather organizations, but they also open new opportunities for growing and critically valuable service businesses.
What is needed is capability – establishing multifaceted high-resolution observation networks collecting weather data to study local weather conditions, usually 2 to 3 years before the event.
This enables creation of forecast models with acceptable accuracy and also helps to choose the best locations and configure them optimally.
