> Weather and agriculture data is measurement and forecasting of physical conditions — temperature, rainfall, soil moisture, crop health — organised to predict commodity supply and weather-sensitive demand.

13 providers tracked, 13 verified, 3 offer a free sample.

## Primer

Weather and agriculture data fuses meteorological observations, soil and satellite measurements, and agronomic models into estimates of crop condition and likely yield. The output ranges from field-level analytics to country-scale production nowcasts. Investors use it to anticipate harvests, model commodity supply, and price weather risk well ahead of official crop reports. Buyers should consider geographic coverage, the agronomic rigour behind the models, update frequency, and how far the history extends across past growing seasons.

Typical universe: Agricultural commodities and food producers, energy and power demand, fertilizer and materials, and weather-exposed insurers — by crop, basin, or grid region rather than by ticker.
