Climformatics Harnesses AI for Climate Forecasting

Revolutionizing Climate Forecasting for Business Strategy

Weather forecasts have long been viewed as unreliable for business planning, but Climformatics is changing that. By leveraging AI, massive datasets, and climate modeling expertise from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory—including work for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—Climformatics is delivering highly accurate, actionable climate insights for businesses.

In our February 6 Perspectives webcast, Dr. Subarna Bhattachryya, CEO of Climformatics, and Divyam Goyel, Lead Engineer, shared exciting updates on their progress. Watch the full webcast here.

AI-Powered Climate Modeling for Business Advantage

Drawing from her experience with the IPCC, Dr. Bhattachryya founded Climformatics intending to transform climate forecasting into a strategic business tool. Today, her six-member team is fine-tuning AI-driven models to deliver unparalleled forecasting accuracy.

Climformatics provides predictive weather insights for:

  • Agriculture – Optimizing planting schedules and resource use
  • Logistics & Supply Chain – Reducing disruptions and improving efficiency
  • Energy & Utilities – Managing demand fluctuations and extreme weather risks
  • Retail & Consumer Goods – Planning seasonal inventory and operations

Breakthrough Accuracy in Climate Forecasting

Climformatics’ AI models outperform standard benchmarks:

  • 95% temporal accuracy for up to one year in advance
  • 2-4 km spatial accuracy
  • 50% better accuracy than traditional forecasting methods

These advancements give businesses a competitive edge, allowing them to mitigate risks and seize opportunities driven by weather patterns.

Industry Partnerships & Growth

Climformatics is already working with major partners like:

  • CalFIRE – Enhancing wildfire risk assessment
