The subscription includes an extensive range of weather and climate data, including historical weather records and ongoing data feeds.
Corporate subscription
Unlimited access to the global database of surface observations.
Premium subscription
An enhanced set of gridded data that offers more detailed and accurate weather and climate analysis. Includes an extra layer of data for businesses and researchers who need high-resolution, comprehensive datasets for advanced modelling and decision-making.
Exclusive web tools and the ability to request climate normals make it an essential resource for anyone who requires robust, global climate data in real time.
Index-based weather risk transfer
Xweather indices are statistical measures used to track and quantify specific climate or weather variables, such as temperature, precipitation, or drought, over a given period. Xweather risk data enables you to compare trends, understand patterns, and assess the impact of weather on various industries.
We use proprietary methodologies to deliver highly accurate, tailored weather risk management solutions. Our unique approach integrates advanced modeling techniques, ensuring businesses receive reliable, customized insights for parametric insurance, better risk management, and decision-making.
Our methodology combines advanced tools and techniques with strategy formulation and organizational transformation expertise to help clients optimize their risk exposures, improve performance, increase profits, and accelerate growth.

Xweather indices
For over two decades, industry-leading Speedwell Climate, now part of Xweather, has provided proprietary weather indices that turn weather data into economic advantage. Weather risk data is the cornerstone of weather derivatives, weather hedging, and parametric insurance. Seize opportunities, mitigate extreme weather event risks, and understand climate risk.
Climate indices
The ICAP-Global Climate Index tracks global temperature changes using data from 50 carefully selected weather stations. It supports parametric climate risk transfer with historical data (1970-present), short-term to seasonal forecasts, and settlement data, including daily valuation. ICAP also provides live market data.
Agriculture indices
Agriculture Weighted Indices monitor weather impacts on crop-growing regions, helping users assess weather stresses like heat, cold, or drought. Historical data, climatologies, updates, and forecasts are available for various crops, including barley, corn, coffee, and wheat, across key growing regions. Examples include indices for specific coffee regions in Brazil, Colombia, India, and Indonesia.
Wind indices
The Wind Power Quanto Indices track wind and spot price fluctuations over various periods, helping wind power producers, asset holders, and investors manage risk. These indices are crucial for risk management, providing revenue stability that supports increased financing and development in the renewables market. An exclusive partnership with EPEX SPOT enhances the accuracy and reliability of these indices with market-leading spot price data.
Solar indices
The Solar Power Production indices estimate theoretical solar power production based on installed capacity as of a specific date. Using gridded solar observations, the model calculates MWh production, providing a time series of historical data since 1979 along with daily updates.
Hydropower indices
The Hydropower Indices are designed to manage hydropower production risk and are available for regions, portfolios, and individual assets. They calculate precipitation data for specific catchment areas using gridded data or surface observations, weighted by hydropower capacity or asset importance. These indices offer historical data for pricing and structuring, as well as transparent updates for transaction settlement.
Wind power quanto indices
The Wind Power Production indices estimate theoretical wind power production for a country or region based on installed capacity as of a specific date. Using gridded wind observations, the model calculates MWh production, providing a time series of historical data since 1979 along with daily updates.
