aWhere Platform offers free access to localized weather data for improved agricultural risk management

Agricultural risk can be better managed with access to localized weather information. In many parts of the world, weather networks are limited, non-functional, or non-existent; representing a significant barrier for farmers, extension officers, and policy makers in their decision making process. In addition, increased weather variability due to climate change presents growing challenge for the agricultural sector and to agricultural risk management activities. aWhere’s Weather Tool: aWhere, Inc.’s Location Intelligence Platform offers free access to interactive, localized weather data through a web based tool. Weather data is available for Western, Eastern, Southern Africa, and South Asia for key variables including precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, and growing degree days.
