Preparing for severe weather events that could impact your business is part-and-parcel of operating safely and efficiently throughout winter.
Almost no business is immune to the hazards of winter. Companies who receive highly-accurate weather guidance are more likely to ride out events with lesser disruption or losses.

Our expert meteorologists model weather trends up to two weeks into the future and provide crucial guidance on seasonal trends up to seven months ahead.

MetraWeather provides weather services to gritting and road maintenance contractors
Knowing where, when and how much grit to apply helps protect those on the road.
Managers of areas of tarmac, such as supermarket car parks, understand how treacherous the surface can become if certain weather parameters occur.
The forecasts also enable users to gauge when not to grit, as MetraWeather crucially shows the critical periods ahead.
Our historical winter data provides unprecedented insights into the impact of past and future weather events. In combination with our weather forecasts, we are now delivering actionable insights in ways never previously imagined.
We believe our specialist winter hazard forecasts can help you navigate the winter months with greater confidence and surety in your response planning and preparations.
