Weather Action forecasts are the only long-range weather forecasts
that have proven skill verified by independent academic statisticians
and published in scientific literature.
Early Weather Action (Solar Weather Technique) skill was independently
verified in a peer-reviewed paper by Dr Dennis Wheeler, University of
Sunderland, in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial
Physics, Vol 63 (2001) p29-34.

Weather Action has audited accuracy, for example, the WeatherAction
advance forecast of May 5 2009 predicted “Bay of Bengal land hit on
May 24-26 2009” the event was verified by Cyclone Alia in the Bay
of Bengal May 25 2009. Please see the Short List table below for more
details of successful predictions and notable major extreme events.

unusual extreme events in narrow time windows.

Skill and forecast scope has been maintained and advanced since then
and reports are issued every month.


The success rate is similar in WeatherAction detailed long range
forecasts down to time windows of a few days for Britain, Ireland &
European countries.

The unique power of the forecasts has also been proven by the profits
on Scientific Weather Bets with William Hill at odds and verification
organized independently by the UK Met Office.

In 4,000 Weather Test Bets over 12 years with William Hill, Weather
Action forecasts made a profit of some 40% (£20,000). The Odds were
statistically fair and set by the Met Office before being shortened by
William Hill by a standard 20%; the results were then provided by the
Met Office for William Hill to settle each bet. Piers Corbyn was
excluded by the bookies from such account betting in 2000.

Bets and notional bets can be used to estimate Forecasting Power which
is the % profit (or negative for losses) on stakes that would come
from bets placed at fair odds. For general long range forecasts for
the three most extreme recent seasons, namely Summer 2007, Summer 2008
and Winter 2008-09 The Met Office long range forecast Power is minus
100% (ie Met Office long range forecasts failed in all three cases)
and WeatherAction (Solar Weather Technique) scores about plus 500%.

Many companies and organizations have carried out their own
assessments of WeatherAction forecasts and consequently renew their
purchase of forecasts.

Report from a farmer:

Farmers need WeatherAction forecasts.

Notes on what ( 'S' - who will talk to other farmers) - a long
standing farmer WeatherAction customer - said - and which was given to
a meeting of North Devon Grassland society (farmers) in Barnstaple
on 15th Oct 2008

S: "I have been with WeatherAction for ten years. Every farmer needs
WeatherAction forecasts. they might think they don't but they do.
There are many practical examples of how I have saved money by
applying WeatherAction forecasts:

Selling Corn (Wheat) this year. Piers' forecast made it clear that the
rain to come meant we had to harvest early or the potential milling
wheat would be devalued into feed wheat.

Hay: I could see from the forecast it was going to be tough. I have
saved a lot on hay because of Piers' forecasts. I got a second cut by
careful timing

Fertiliser: Dry / Wet forecasts makes it clear if you need to buy and
use

Maize. The frosts forecast meant it should be planted late. Those who
planted early lost out.

Dairy: The cold spring forecast means that grass would be late so it
would be worth spending on fertiliser.

Planning. Use forecasters to book contractors and avoid hiring labour
that has to stand idle because of adverse weather.

BUY the forecasts for two years. They are a guide not gospel but and
you will find you are lost without them. There is no-one else in the
world who can do it.
