WeatherX expands seasonal forecasts

Seasonal forecasting is weather’s long game: instead of saying whether it will rain next Tuesday, it estimates whether the next few months will skew hotter, wetter, drier, or stormier than usual. WeatherX has now added a 100-day forecast product and extreme-weather early warnings to that longer-horizon stack. (climate.copernicus.eu; x.com) The product was announced by WeatherX co-founder Kutay Mıhlıardıç, a meteorologist who has also been cited in Turkish media for public heat-wave analysis. WeatherX’s consumer-facing products already include minute-by-minute rain timing, a 6-hour radar view, hyper-local alerts, and an interactive 3D weather globe. (x.com; gazeteoksijen.com; plus.weatherxanalytics.com; weatherx.earth) WeatherX’s Android listing says the app has more than 5,000 downloads and was updated on March 11, 2026. An exhibitor profile for WeatherX Analytics LLC lists co-founders Serkan Kaya and Kutay Mıhlıardıç and says the company sells weather tools for agriculture, renewables, and insurance through software and application programming interface access. (play.google.com; archive.dlg-feldtage.de) The timing fits a wider shift in forecasting toward planning tools that sit between daily weather and long-term climate projections. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service publishes seasonal forecasts out to six months, while the United States Climate Prediction Center issues outlooks from one to thirteen months ahead, including official 90-day outlooks released monthly. (climate.copernicus.eu; cpc.ncep.noaa.gov; cpc.ncep.noaa.gov) Those products do not work like a normal 7-day forecast. Copernicus says seasonal systems combine several prediction models and publish probabilities and anomaly signals for variables such as temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation, rather than day-by-day local certainty. (climate.copernicus.eu) That matters for buyers who need lead time more than precision on a single afternoon. WeatherX says its data and tools are built for planning across agriculture, renewable energy, and insurance, and Mıhlıardıç’s launch post adds climatetech and defence use cases to that list. (archive.dlg-feldtage.de; x.com) Defence is an established weather-data market, not a new category invented for this launch. Meteomatics, another weather-intelligence company, says armed forces use high-resolution forecasts to reduce operational risk in the air, on land, and at sea, especially where national weather services do not provide enough local detail. (meteomatics.com) WeatherX has not published a public technical paper in the sources reviewed here explaining how its new 100-day product is built, what variables it covers, or how it verifies forecast skill against benchmarks such as Copernicus or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The company’s public materials instead emphasize speed, alerts, visualization, and tailored risk tools. (x.com; plus.weatherxanalytics.com; weatherx.earth; archive.dlg-feldtage.de) So the immediate change is not that seasonal forecasting suddenly exists. It is that a smaller Turkish weather-tech company is trying to package 100-day risk signals and early warnings into a product aimed at customers making decisions weeks or months before the weather arrives.
