The company’s cutting-edge AI model, trained on more than 8 million real-world rainfall events across Europe, delivers forecasts that are 52% more accurate than traditional forecasts, the company said.
This leap in precision comes at a crucial time for European farmers facing increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, it added.
Cordulus’ AI-driven model updates every 10 minutes, providing farmers with precise, real-time insights on when, where, and how much rain to expect. This level of accuracy allows for better planning in critical agricultural activities such as irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting.
“We saw a significant increase in the accuracy of our weather forecasts. This allowed us to optimize planting and irrigation schedules, resulting in increased crop productivity,” says Máximo Bourdette Ibáñez Aldecoa, a Spanish agronomist.
Extensive network
Cordulus claims to operates Northern Europe’s largest weather station network. The company has over 4,000 active weather stations across the region, collecting millions of weather measurements daily. This extensive network allows Cordulus to provide highly accurate hyperlocal weather forecasts using AI.
John Smedegaard, CEO of Cordulus, said there is an urgent need for improved weather forecasting in light of changing climate patterns: “The average yearly rainfall may not have changed significantly, but the way it falls has. Extreme weather events – prolonged droughts and very heavy rains – are becoming more frequent.
“Farmers need hyperlocal, real-time weather insights to adapt to our changing climate, and that is why we’re pushing the limits of forecasting.”
