Weather Pilot

Weather Pilot leverages Azure’s AI, IoT, and data analytics capabilities to provide advanced weather monitoring, accurate forecasting, and predictive insights tailored for agricultural decisions. By integrating satellite data, Azure-enabled IoT sensors, and machine learning algorithms, the platform delivers localized weather forecasts, early warnings for extreme conditions, and actionable recommendations for irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. During the engagement, we provide a proof of concept that includes testing the platform's ability to generate real-time forecasts, validate accuracy against historical data, and demonstrate actionable insights for specific farm management scenarios.

Value Proposition:

Repetitive episodes of unpredictable weather is one of the biggest challenges in farming, leading to crop losses and inefficient resource usage. Weather Pilot helps farmers mitigate these risks by providing precise weather insights and actionable recommendations. This allows for better planning, resource optimization, and increased crop resilience against climate change.

Key Benefits:

• Real-Time Weather Monitoring: Provides up-to-date local weather conditions with AI-enhanced forecasts.

• Accurate Weather Predictions: Helps farmers plan farming activities based on precise short-term and long-term forecasts.

• Extreme Weather Alerts: Sends early warnings for storms, droughts, floods, and frost to prevent crop damage.

• Irrigation & Fertilization Planning: Optimizes water and fertilizer usage based on weather predictions, reducing waste and costs.

• Pest & Disease Prevention: Predicts pest outbreaks linked to weather conditions and recommends preventive measures.

• Climate Resilience: Assists in adapting farming practices to changing climate conditions for long-term sustainability.
