Salient’s platform stands out with its daily updates to weekly forecasts, covering the first five weeks and offering a ‘probabilistic’ approach to forecasting.

The platform’s latest features include customisable hazards for evaluating various weather risks such as precipitation and temperature extremes according to specific intensity thresholds.

It also allows users to define risk levels relative to climatological norms or absolute probabilities and adjust these for different global regions, recognising that the impact of extreme weather varies based on local infrastructure and preparedness.

Salient chief product officer Janet Lee said: “With the unveiling of our enhanced S2S forecasting platform, we are setting a new standard in weather intelligence, offering decision-makers the tools to not only survive but thrive in the face of extreme weather events.”
