Precision farming cannot be achieved without precision agricultural meteorology. Weather Measures supports the agricultural world in the evolution of the profession towards precision, sustainable, responsible and high-performance agriculture.
Weather Measures is the French leader in spatialized meteorology for the agricultural sector. Relying on its strong expertise in precision meteorology and thanks to artificial intelligence, Weather Measures produces this spatialized weather through the integration and enhancement of multi-source meteorological data. Weather Measures thus provides, over the whole French territory, observations per km² and forecasts on all weather parameters (rain, temperature, wind, humidity, radiation and FTE).

Fruition Sciences provides oenologists a web application integrating terroir and vintage data. Its solution based on a fine understanding of plants allows farmers to save time and improve both the quality and yield of their production, while implementing innovative techniques and adapting to climate change. Operating mainly in the USA and Europe, Fruition Sciences is a long-time partner of Weather Measures serving winegrowers. This partnership has enabled the two companies to be awarded the DIVA 2020 program for a new wine service project in the United States.
WiUz publishes the platform of the same name whose vocation is to support and accompany each farmer from sowing to harvest, while ensuring the traceability of its productions. The WIUZ platform allows the farmer to manage all the daily operations and to have permanently updated useful data for the management of his farm. The technician has a complete vision of his sector to optimize the strategies adopted with his farmers. Finally, the traceability functions enable certified production to be efficiently monitored. Meteorology can intervene at each stage and for each profile. It was therefore quite natural that WiUz and Weather Measures, who share the same philosophy of open and collaborative work, should meet and gradually build a strong partnership.
The Michelin Group is the world's leading tire manufacturer. Weather Measures is proud to work with the Michelin Group for several years on different issues, including the Early Warning System that is installed at the Group's facilities, including its headquarters in Clermont Ferrand.
From its agricultural co-operative on the Limagne plain, Limagrain is the 4th largest seeds company in the world and expert in cereal chains. Limagrain is a historical partner of Weather Measures, with whom the cooperation has been enriched over the years, from the maintenance of sensor networks, the implementation of radar infrastructures to the supply of spatialized meteorological data and the carrying out of joint research work.
The LIMAGRAIN Cooperative helps its farmers on a daily basis by developing offers of advice adapted to plant production. Weather measures is at our side by providing us with the necessary meteorological data and by bringing us its indispensable expertise in our profession and that of our farmers.
As it presents itself, Cristal Union is an agro-industrial cooperative group among the leading European producers of sugar and alcohol. Mainly established in France, although it achieves a significant proportion of its sales abroad, its organisation and operations are based on the cooperative model. Its strategy is a long-term one. It combines a keen sense of responsible economy, a local anchoring of the industrial tool and an ambitious research and development policy. It is therefore quite natural that Weather Measures and Cristal Union have been working together for several years to provide a pragmatic solution to beet growers around the cercosporiose disease, triggered by humidity and temperature parameters.
Euralis is based in the South West of France, its historic birthplace, and also has an international presence, supporting agricultural and food industry professionals by working in two complementary sectors of activity; agriculture and agri-food.
