If you have been keeping a tab on the weather lately, you must be aware of the rising global temperatures, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events reported from various parts of the world.

Top 5 Weather Forecast and Industries That Rely Heavily on Weather Forecasts

Some of the most recent natural disasters include Australian Bushfires, Indonesian flash floods,

Cyclone Amphan, and green snow in Antarctica, which have turned their respective location on their heads.

Not only do these disasters cause natural imbalance, death tolls, and more, but they also pose a severe threat to the global economy.

Several industries sustain entirely based on the weather forecast and the outcome of natural weather events.

Industries like aviation and transportation operate solely on how the weather will behave on a day-to-day basis.

While aviation and transportation are the most dependent industries on accurate weather intelligence to make critical operations decisions, they are not the only ones.

Several other small industries rely on the information as well. Let’s take a look at the top five industries that depend on meteorologists’ weather forecasts and expert guidance.

Aviation Industry

This need not even be mentioned how crucial weather is when it comes to the aviation industry.

Apart from the routine systems and plane checks, one of the critical duties of a flight crew and pilot is to monitor pre-flight weather conditions.

Usually, canceled or delayed flights are often associated with cold and stormy weather.

However, it’s much broader than that, and several other weather conditions may adversely impact a flight plan.

Major culprits that play a role in changed flight plans are intense heat waves, massive snow, heavy downpours, gale-force winds, and fog (low visibility).

These weather factors can all lead to considerable disruptions during the flight and at airports.

Considering how dramatically weather conditions are changing these days, it has forced the aviation industry to take some corrective actions.

Airports and air traffic control centers are now equipped with fast and accurate weather forecast systems.

For example, they can delay or cancel all flights to Akron, Ohio, if the weather radar in Akron Ohio signals extreme weather situations.

Apart from actively monitoring the weather, the aviation industry is also working on contingency plans, improving airports infrastructure to cope with bad climate, and building a fleet of robust aircraft.

Transportation

Just like aviation, the transportation industry is also heavily affected by adverse weather conditions.

Generally, transport systems are designed keeping in mind the local weather and climate, ensuring that they can withstand the weather for a prolonged duration.

To achieve this, transportation engineers and experts consider the extreme weather events that have occurred in the past in that particular location.

Exhibit A, in this case, is the bridges, which are designed to survive intense storms that are estimated to happen just once or a couple of times in 100 years.

However, the pace at which climate change is progressing, the historical data doesn’t hold any substance anymore and cannot be used to predict future risks anymore.

Recent natural disasters and their relative data have shown that the frequency and intensity of weather events will only get more extreme with the passing time.

These include severe heatwaves, the dramatic rising of sea levels, and intense precipitation.

Thanks to these changes, engineers are now focusing on designing the most robust structure there is and aim for a longevity 50 years minimum.

Retail Business

Now onto the smaller industries compared to aviation and transportation. The retail industry has an entirely different outlook when it comes to how weather affects its operations.

The retail industry needs to keep a tab on the weather and seasonal changes to decide upon the correct type of product to push.

Products that sell well during a cold climate will not be the hot commodity come summer.

Moreover, weather forecasts indicating an extreme event will help take the business decision to stay shut and prioritize the safety of their staff.

Accurate weather forecasts allow small businesses to make decisions regarding staffing requirements, operational hours, and more crucial aspects.

Travel and Tourism

Travel and tourism is another industry that depends highly on the climate and weather of popular destinations worldwide.

These two are the critical factors when deciding where to travel when to travel, what to do at the destination, and how safe you will be.

Usually, tourists would plan their trip, keeping in mind the general climate of the location.

However, you can never predict when the weather might take a wrong turn, especially with the frequent climate changes.

Therefore, it’s imperative for tourists to continuously monitor weather forecasts up until the day of the trip.

On the other hand, tourist destinations will benefit from studying the local weather and climate, understanding the potential changes, and how the change might impact the tourist business.

Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Hospitality

The tourism and hospitality industry go hand in hand. The same climatic factors that affect the tourism industry also affect the hospitality industry.

Hotels are known to price their accommodations according to the prevailing conditions in the area.

During the bad weather or off-season, tourists are offered cheaper rates, which then spike during the favorable conditions.

Additionally, a natural disaster might force the hands of hotels in the area to either close entirely or offer limited accommodations during the recovery period.

Hotels and other hospitality businesses either suffer losses or completely lose their business during extreme weather conditions.

It is imperative for such businesses to study the local weather phenomena and safeguard their property against them.

Getting insurance against specific weather conditions that are prevalent in the area will help them survive the bad weather outcome.

So, these were the top five industries that face the complete brunt of adverse weather conditions.

However, the bottom line here is that while these might be the industries suffering the worst, climate change will affect the entire planet as a whole.
