The Weather Chaser for Insurance

Verify what the weather actually did at a specific location and time. Radar archives, station observations and gauge-corrected rainfall reconstruction support claims assessment from a single localised storm to a state-wide event.

How Insurance Teams Use It

Claim-Time Verification

Replay the radar over a claim location at the date and time in question, with SD imagery back to 2010 and HD from 2020, alongside rainfall and wind from surrounding weather stations.

Post-Event Rainfall Reconstruction

For contested or high-value claims, our rainfall estimation service combines raw radar with nearby gauges to produce a robust rainfall estimate at the address or catchment, at intervals down to minutes.

Event Footprints

Accumulated rainfall maps show how an event tracked across a region, which helps scope exposure and triage claim volumes after a major storm.

Claims Teams

Organisation accounts put the whole team under one subscription and one invoice, with individual or shared logins. Used by claims teams today.
