Forecasting solutions tailored
to match your needs
Meteo forecast
Accurate weather forecasts tailored to specific locations, leveraging Whiffle’s LES model to provide high-resolution insights into wind speeds, solar irradiance, and other atmospheric conditions.
LES forecast
Raw, high-resolution weather data forecasted by Whiffle’s advanced LES model, capturing fine-scale phenomena like turbulence, cloud formation, and surface interactions. Ideal for use in an ensemble.
Wind power forecast
Power production forecasts for wind parks, incorporating data from Whiffle’s LES weather model to capture site-specific atmospheric phenomena including turbine wake effects.
Solar power forecast
Power production forecasts for solar parks, integrating Whiffle’s LES-based irradiance data to deliver highly accurate, site-specific solar forecasts.
Gain a competitive edge in power trading
