WSI Launches WSI PreCat Forecast Europe

Weather Services International (WSI), the most trusted global weather solutions provider, today announced the launch of WSI PreCat Forecast's8482; Europe, a new risk management tool that predicts the total number and location of European windstorms for the upcoming season.

Developed in response to demand from the reinsurance market, WSI PreCat Forecast Europe delivers forecasts on the total number of windstorms during the approaching season, as well as predictions on where these storms will most likely impact Europe.

Guided by over 10 years of European and U.S. seasonal forecasting expertise, WSI PreCat Forecast Europe allows clients, prior to the season, to tune their loss models and adjust for an expected number of storms and locales, said Ira Scharf, General Manager of WSI'ss Energy and Risk Division. WSI PreCat Forecast Europe is based on innovative WSI technology that outperformed NHC predictions during the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It provides a new perspective on European storm forecasting for insurance, reinsurance and risk management professionals.

Not only is WSI PreCat Forecast Europe the only product of its kind, but now, working in tandem with the recently announced WSI LiveCat Forecast's8482; Europe, it also completes yet another first exclusively available from WSI, a year-round cycle of information on European windstorm forecasting.

WSI LiveCat Forecast Europe is an innovative service providing highly accurate predictions -- up to 10 days out -- of the development, path and intensity of European windstorms during the European storm season. Working together, the two WSI weather services will provide predictions on the number and locale of storms before the season, and information on the path and intensity of storms during the season.

WSI PreCat Forecast Europe will distribute monthly forecasts from June through November and WSI LiveCat Forecast Europe will deliver at least two updates daily on predicted storms from October through March. Both services will offer their respective weather bulletins in formats customized to clients's needs.
