Washington CORE interviewed Dr. Subarna Bhattacharyya, Co-Founder & CEO of Climformatics LLC, about climate change challenges and climate prediction solutions. The impacts of climate change, such as heatwaves, wildfires, and floods, have steadily become more widespread, and Climformatics aims to help businesses and people make more informed decisions through delivering reliable climate prediction services. Unlike traditional weather forecasting, which provides up to 14-day predictions, climate forecasting can provide predictions over a longer time scale, usually from one year up to a few years. The company provides locally customized, one-year ahead climate predictions, which helps local governments to enhance their natural disaster preparedness, and provides businesses with useful information to make decisions about their future products and services.
