As markets seek reliable forecasts to navigate increasingly volatile weather patterns, Planette released its Winter 2025-26 Long-Range Weather Forecast & Commodity Outlook. While most forecasters are focused on a weak La Niña signal that could have minimal impact, Planette, a leader in long-range weather prediction backed by NASA and the National Science Foundation, has identified the drivers creating substantial trading opportunities with unprecedented lead times. Planette’s platform, which combines cutting-edge AI with decades of Earth system science, projects a winter marked by predictable volatility, with above-average temperatures and multiple cold snaps anticipated 30 to 40 days ahead.

Despite increasingly volatile weather and advances in short-term weather prediction, the finance, insurance, and energy sectors still lack the precise, long-term forecasts they need to inform high-stakes decisions and appropriately price risk. Responding to this challenge, Planette, a leader in long-range weather prediction, has launched Joro, a high-resolution forecasting platform built for financial institutions, insurance providers, and data-driven professionals who need detailed weather insights that offer views months into the future. Joro fills a critical gap left by traditional forecasts by providing full temperature and precipitation probability distributions, from the 5th to 95th percentile, for any global location. This level of precision enables users to better predict future weather scenarios and make more intelligent and timely decisions about high-risk opportunities, or take advantage of hidden weather trends that could affect commodities or supply chain logistics, among others.

Extreme weather is on the rise, but even state-of-the-art forecasting technologies struggle to provide accurate, timely predictions for extremes like heavy rainfall, heatwaves, and thunderstorms. To address this limitation, Planette, a leader in long-range weather prediction technology, was selected by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop QubitCast, a next-generation forecasting system, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), that will improve long-range or subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) weather predictions (forecasts ranging from two weeks to two years) beyond current limitations, with a focus on extreme weather detection capabilities. The system will provide critical early warning signals for high-impact severe weather, making it possible to plan and prepare for extremes.

As our weather becomes more volatile and severe, conventional forecasts are too short-term to serve the needs of consumers and businesses. To meet extended planning needs, Planette has made its groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI)-driven long-range weather forecasts accessible to the public for the first time. The company’s weather forecasting tool, Eddy, provides users worldwide with access to detailed, natural-language weather predictions. Now, anyone can access forecasts up to four months in advance, while enterprise users can access up to six months in advance.
