WeatherXM.com is building the fastest growing weather station network in the world.

Supported by visionary investors like Lightspeed Faction, Placeholder, Consensys Mesh, Protocol Labs, Borderless Capital, Arca, Redbeard, DLAB, SOSV, and notable angel investors such as Juan Benet (Filecoin), WeatherXM is leveraging Web3, IoT, and machine learning technologies to bring about a paradigm shift in weather data collection and positively impact the planet and the lives of millions of people on it.

By installing and operating a WeatherXM-compatible station, anyone can join the fastest-growing people-powered weather network and get rewarded for the data they contribute.

Using low cost hardware and delegating capex, installation and maintenance to the community, we create dense weather networks capable of providing hyper-local, real-time weather measurements in areas without prior weather infrastructure, overcoming the obstacles of centralized planning, procurement and maintenance model national weather organizations have to follow.

With over 5,000 stations in more than 80 countries our network provides unparalleled coverage and forecasts. Our web3-native data, digitally signed and stored on Filecoin, serves as the foundation for on-chain weather protection and parametric weather insurance protocols.

Join us at WeatherXM and help build the future of weather monitoring. Together, we'll transform weather data into a valuable asset and make a lasting impact on the world.
