Weather It is

AI-powered weather forecasting for insurance risk management and critical decision-making

Underwriting & Risk Startup Bootstrapped

Overview

Weather It Is (WII) is a weather intelligence platform provider for insurers, reinsurers, and critical infrastructure operators. Founded in Jerusalem in 2006, the company delivers probabilistic weather forecasting technology that converts meteorological data into risk-quantified outputs for underwriting, parametric coverage, and operational decision support.

The platform generates ultra-high-resolution forecasts at street level using proprietary AI and machine learning models layered over atmospheric science theory and continuously updated global data feeds. Specialized prediction models address wildfire behavior, flood risk, lightning activity, heavy snowfall, and fog -- hazards directly relevant to property catastrophe underwriting and reinsurance placement. Forecasts are accessible via REST API or direct user interface.

WII has deployed its technology with Israeli government agencies, national utilities, and energy operators, serving clients including the Israel Ministry of Public Security, Israel Electric Corporation, and Mekorot, the national water company. The company is pursuing international expansion and has involvement from academic advisors at leading meteorology research institutions.
