HEADLAND WEATHERCHECK USES THE LATEST FORECASTING TECHNOLOGY TAILORED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TURF & AMENITY INDUSTRY<br />
Introducing <strong>Headland</strong> Weathercheck<br />
<strong>Headland</strong> Amenity have been providing<br />
general weather forecasts to their<br />
customers for the last five years, interpreting<br />
long-term weather patterns<br />
and 7-day forecasting data provided by<br />
Meteoblue, a specialist metereology<br />
company based in Basel, Switzerland.<br />
As this partnership developed, work began on developing a specific weather<br />
package tailored for the turf industry and incorporating up to date forecasting<br />
technology tailored to a specific location, such as a golf club or racecourse.<br />
The result of this partnership is <strong>Headland</strong> Weathercheck, due for launch in<br />
Spring <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Features of <strong>Headland</strong> Weathercheck<br />
<strong>Headland</strong> Weathercheck features a location specific weather forecast,<br />
incorporating four key modules;<br />
Module 1. General 7-day forecast<br />
This incorporates a daily weather summary showing low and high temperatures,<br />
wind speed and direction and projected precipitation in mm per day.<br />
Module 2. Detailed 7-day forecast (above)<br />
This breaks Module 1 down into 3-hour segments and graphically illustrates<br />
rainfall intensity and timing using SP✳T forecasting technology. This represents<br />
the location as the centre of a rain radar diagram.<br />
Module 3.<br />
RainNow location specific rainfall data<br />
Using SP✳T forecasting technology,<br />
RainNow produces a 25km radius, ‘rain<br />
radar’ map showing the past rainfall over<br />
the last two hours and the projected rainfall<br />
looking ahead for 90 minutes. The data<br />
is updated every 15 minutes.<br />
