Climate Intelligence Methodology
ignitia’s forecasts and Climate Intelligence are 2x more accurate for tropical regions than the traditional weather forecast models that power most of the world’s existing weather apps and services.
This is because ignitia’s forecasting system is based on 30 person-years of research and development to address the specific challenges of forecasting rainfall and climate variability in tropical climates such as West Africa and Brazil.
Traditional
Forecast
Traditional weather forecasting was developed for European and American climates and generally does not work well in tropical zones, nor does it focus on agribusiness challenges. This is because traditional models are optimized for temperate climates and struggle to predict rain and other key agricultural influencing conditions on a smaller scale. Accuracy averages about 39% accuracy in West Africa; even flipping a coin would do better.
ignitia
