Project description
A service to help weather-dependent industries anticipate all thunderstorms
Climate change has led to a 350 % rise in violent storms across Europe in the last decade. However, it is difficult to accurately forecast thunderstorms. As a result, weather-dependent industries bear significant economic and security risks. To tackle this problem, the EU-funded STORM H-1 project aims to make use of a recently developed technology that can anticipate all thunderstorms, 40–60 minutes in advance and with 100 m accuracy. The project aims to deploy services based on this technology all over Europe in order to reach clients in construction, water management and other weather-dependent industries. The project could help to transform storm risk management in Europe.
Objective
Thunderstorms are one of the hardest meteorological phenomena to accurately forecast, causing severe economic and
security risk in weather-dependent industries (which represent around 70% of the economy). Across Europe, climate change
has seen violent storm events rise by 350% in the past ten years, meaning that managing storm risk is a growing concern for
protecting business activities, workers and the general public.
SELERYS has developed a unique technology that can anticipate 100% of thunderstorms, 40-60 minutes in advance and
with 100m accuracy. The solution is currently based on deploying our specialized radar via our own network (in France) and
realtime storm risk alerts via our adapted interface.
SELERYS has also developed an advanced prototype of “EVEARLYS”: a sensor capable of detecting convective activity in a
developing storm cloud and therefore providing even more accurate predictions. EVEARLYS is the only industrial tool on the
market providing laboratory quality storm detection, at accessible prices. Our technology has the potential to transform the
management of storm risk across Europe and guarantee that no organization will ever again be “surprised” by a violent
thunderstorm. The aim of the project is to deploy services based on our technology across Europe, and to reach clients in
weather dependent industries (construction, heavy industry, water management…). This involves industrializing production
of our EVEARLYS sensor (WP1) and developing it as a standalone solution for the creation of effective storm anticipation
service (WP2). Pilot studies (WP3), the development of strategic partnerships (WP4) and market evangelisation (WP5) will
prepare our solution for wide-scale deployment. Our aim is to rapidly impose SELERYS as a European market leader in the
storm risk management field - benefiting European industry and the security of its population.
