What if, wherever you’re living, working or traveling, you could receive an alert before it’s about to rain or snow and when the precipitation is about to end? And it’s pretty accurate, too?
ClimaCell, a fledgling weather technology company based in Boston, released a mobile app Monday that provides notifications for exact locations in more than 50 countries. It promises “street-by-street, minute-by-minute short-term forecasts."
The app leverages the company’s technology innovations, which are making waves in weather business industries.
ClimaCell, founded in 2015, has developed a global network of weather data that marries traditional observations of pressure, temperature, precipitation and wind with information drawn from wireless signals, satellites, connected cars, airplanes, street cameras, drones and other electronic sources. Millions of pieces of weather data can be derived from these technologies. It’s what the company describes as the “weather of things.”
This mix of data is fed into ClimaCell’s forecast models, operated in Boulder, Colo. The company created the NowCast model that gives highly specific, minute-by-minute forecasts out to six hours and a longer-term model, known as CBAM, that produces forecasts out to six days.
These models are designed to provide forecasts to help businesses solve problems in which “extra accuracy” is needed, according to Shimon Elkabetz, ClimaCell’s chief executive.

Without a doubt ClimaCell has the best propaganda in the weather business. They are the Uber of the weather business. See them sell for hundreds of millions and then lose their ass after acquisition or IPO.

If you're conservative, we all know the answer to that.
MyRadar does all that, and better. I use both WU and MR. WU is still great for forecasts, but MR can't be beat for visualization of weather patterns.
