Forecasting El Niño’s Ferocity

Thank you, Andrew.

It's great to be here.

Great.

Could you please tell the audience a little bit about your company and what you do? That would be really helpful.

Absolutely.

So we do all things El Nino and anything sort of long term in the climate system in terms of forecasting.

So our specialty is not a seven-day weather forecast, but it is a forecast beyond that seven days.

So anywhere from one week all the way out to about a year.

And, you know, I think that this is kind of an interesting area because there's not many people actively using this information.

The one area that people are actively using this information has been certain highly specialized hedge funds.

for example, as well as certain energy trading desks as well.

But this generally is just not an area of forecasting that is used by the general public, used by your average business.

And so I started this company because this really felt like an opportunity.

It's an area that's just advanced so much, specifically in the last decade or so.

And it's an area where, yeah, people are still not using the weather information that they need.

And I think like You know, this is a sustainability podcast with climate change.

This is really information that I believe more people need to use, specifically because resilience requires planning.

And so in order to plan, you got to know what you're planning for.

And so, you know, the great thing is there's so many companies out there now that are offering sort of climate, you know, resilience advice.

But, you know, a lot of people, they also want to know, OK, I know what the next 20 years are going to look like, but what about the next year? Right.

How do I plan for that next year? And this is where we really come in.

So we're in that sweet spot.

Yeah.

Yeah.
