Top 7 Historical Weather Data Providers & APIs Top 10 Weather Data Providers 10 Best Data Providers for Weather-Triggered AdvertisingUse Cases
A nationwide retailer used OnPoint Weather to quantify the impact of weather data on seasonal product sales. The creation of a predictive model helped the company stock and price inventory according to real-time seasonal changes rather than predetermined dates.
A logistics company with tight delivery deadlines used OnPoint Weather to perform regression analysis and to identify weather conditions that result in delivery delays. Weather Source then created a model for the company to monitor forecast and OnPoint Climatology data for similar conditions, enabling them to adjust routes and schedules to prevent future setbacks.
An energy company used OnPoint Climatology to anticipate anomalies and potential changes in demand within their designated market areas as well as those of their competitors. This allowed the company to sell energy at a premium to neighboring utilities who experience high demand and low resources.
A busy hospital used OnPoint Weather to perform regression analysis on emergency room visits to better understand how they are influenced by weather. This allowed the provider to create a predictive model to forecast emergency room footfall traffic, with the end results being optimized staff resources and reduced patient wait times.
A large property management company relied on Weather Source to monitor weather’s impact on their asset locations. They also received alerts in real time when weather had the potential to damage an asset and a visit to the property was advised.
A large defense contractor ingested Weather Source’s entire continuum of data, from historical to present to forecast, to serve as a single source of truth for its globally distributed employees. This ensured all personnel were operating and modeling with globally uniform data free of discrepancies in spatial and/or temporal resolution.

Key Differentiators
Unlike other weather data providers who rely on singular weather-sensing inputs that may be too far from your location of interest to prove meaningful, Weather Source takes a markedly different approach to data collection and preparation.
Weather Source’s patent-pending OnPoint Platform curates, decodes, and unifies data from the best weather-sensing technologies available then stages the data on the OnPoint Grid. This globally consistent, 5-kilometer grid covers every land mass in the world and up to 200 miles offshore. Each grid point—nearly 2 million in total—represents a “virtual” weather station with a unique OnPoint ID from which weather data can be mapped. This high-resolution method ensures your location of interest is never more than 2.2 miles away from an OnPoint ID.
With access to analytics-grade, hyper-local data—right down to your exact storefront, job site, real estate property, agricultural field, or automobile—your business can identify patterns, trends, and anomalies to always be one step ahead of competitors.
