Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 2: Forecastro, a pioneering climate technology startup based in Pune, proudly announces the launch of WeatherWise - An IoT/AI powered Automatic Weather Station (AWS). This patent-pending, exclusively made-in-India product harnesses the power of IoT, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence to deliver accurate weather data collection. WeatherWise offers a broad set of measurements, including predictions of ultraviolet radiation, humidity, and climate change, to help government and businesses monitor and mitigate the impacts of climate change. This innovative solution aims to fight the extreme climate crisis with advanced technology and early warning systems.
Climate change poses significant challenges to the world's natural environment, economy and society. With increasing frequency and intensity, heat waves, floods, erratic monsoons and dwindling groundwater reserves are wreaking havoc across the country. The floods alone have cost India $26.3 billion. which represents approximately 0.5 percent of its GDP. Studies highlight the devastating economic and social costs of climate-related damages, projecting potential losses of $35 trillion over the next 50 years if climate inaction continues, with serious impacts on the health and agriculture sectors.
WeatherWise is the culmination of more than a decade of dedicated research by Forecastro's founding team members, Somnath Varpe and Kiran Todekar. Varpe, with over six years of experience in embedded systems and microcontrollers, has previously worked on sophisticated systems such as telemetry and meteorological instruments for the DRDO Meteorology division of the Government of India. Todekar, a data scientist with strong experience in machine learning algorithms, deep learning, computer vision and image processing, has served as a researcher at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology.
“WeatherWise is a game-changer in the space of weather monitoring and climate change mitigation,” said Somnath Varpe, co-founder of Forecastro. "Our goal is to provide accurate and reliable weather data that can empower authorities to make informed decisions and ultimately safeguard communities and reduce economic losses."
Kiran Todekar added: "By integrating advanced technologies such as IoT, ML and AI, WeatherWise not only improves the accuracy of weather data but also enables predictive insights crucial for proactive disaster management."
Forecastro has established collaborations with key stakeholders to expand the reach and impact of WeatherWise. The company's dedication to innovation and sustainability drives its mission to significantly contribute to a more resilient and climate-conscious global future.
