We currently show predictive and statistical data for the following weather conditions/perils. For NatCat perils other than wildfire, the risk shown is from the MetSwift Standard Statistical model. Wildfire risk is delivered through a predictive model:

• Continuous variables (risk calculated on a threshold basis where observations are >= or <= a user defined threshold)
  • Temperature (minimum, mean, and maximum for daily, instantaneous for hourly)
  • Wind (Maximum speed and maximum wind gust for daily, maximum speed for hourly)
  • Rainfall (Daily, weekly, and monthly accumulations for daily, hourly accumulations for hourly)
  • Snow (Maximum depth for daily and hourly)
• Discrete variables (observations are binary ‘observed’ or ‘unobserved’)
  • Hail
  • Fog
  • Thunderstorm
  • Dust Storm
• Categorical variables (risk calculated for pre-defined categories)
  • Tropical Storm (Uses different categories depending on the country, categories are defined based on wind speeds, only storms that would be Tropical Storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale and above are included)
  • Earthquake (Uses the moment magnitude scale, only magnitude 4 and above are included)
  • Tornadoes (US only, uses the Enhanced Fujita scale, all categories are included)
• Other
  • Wildfire (risk is a percentage chance of an active fire becoming a wildfire based on both atmospheric and geological variables)
