Core offering

iklim INC operates a storm intelligence platform that ingests data from a proprietary lightning detection and severe weather network to track storms, hail, tornadoes, rain, snow, and lightning in real time. It sells early-warning alert services to insurance companies (delivered to policyholders via SMS, email, or app), high-resolution claim verification for insurance fraud prevention, and a suite of REST APIs (Lightning, Thunderstorm, Precipitation, Forecast, Enroute) plus an MCP server for AI-assistant integration. The platform also serves wind farm operators with IEC 61400-24-compliant lightning risk intelligence.

Product overview

iklim INC offers a storm intelligence platform — a unified weather monitoring and early warning system built around a proprietary lightning and storm detection network. The core Storm Intelligence Platform delivers real-time storm tracking, early warning alerts, and claim verification services primarily to insurance companies, wind farm operators, municipalities, and transportation/logistics companies. The product portfolio spans three layers: (1) core platform solutions — Early Warning Against Storms, Claim Verification, and Client Notification System; (2) a comprehensive REST API family including Lightning API, Thunderstorm API, Precipitation API, Forecast API, Enroute API (weather-aware route monitoring), and a Point/Geo/Forecast Alarm system; and (3) vertical-specific offerings such as Real-Time Lightning Intelligence for Wind Energy (supporting IEC 61400-24, ISO 31000, ISO 55000 compliance for turbine operators) and the MCP Server enabling AI assistant integration. Pricing is offered per beneficiary, per surveillance area, or per query.

Products and services

• Storm Intelligence Platform (iklim.co) Real-time storm detection and weather monitoring platform that acquires data from a proprietary severe weather detection network and tracks storms with high precision, delivering actionable alerts to insurance companies, wind farm operators, municipalities, and logistics operators to minimize payouts, prevent damage, and reduce downtime.
• Early Warning Against Storms Real-time severe weather alert service that delivers actionable notifications to insurance policyholders or end users, enabling preventive action to reduce damages, minimize insurance claims, enhance risk management, and boost customer satisfaction.
• Claim Verification Service High-resolution storm detection service that enables insurance companies to verify storm-related claims by confirming whether severe weather events occurred at specific property locations and timestamps, preventing fraud and ensuring accurate claim processing. Priced per query.
• Client Notification System End-user notification service that delivers real-time storm tracking alerts to insurance policyholders via SMS, email, or app notifications, enabling proactive damage prevention and timely communication from insurance companies.
• Lightning API REST API for querying lightning strike data, including within-radius searches (up to 50 km, 30-day lookback), paginated time-range queries (5-day lookback), and real-time lightning summary with risk index, peak current, and detection confidence scores.
• Thunderstorm API REST API endpoints for querying thunderstorm cell data, including paginated list within time range, within-radius searches (up to 50 km, 30-day lookback), and detailed historical storm event retrieval with cell geometry, severity, flash rates, and threat polygon information.
• Precipitation API REST API for radar-derived precipitation data, including within-area queries with intensity thresholds, paginated precipitation records, and geometry endpoints returning protobuf-encoded MultiPolygon precipitation footprints clipped to a queried circular area, convertible to GeoJSON.
• Forecast API REST API providing current weather observations, hourly forecasts (up to 14 days, 53 selectable metrics), daily aggregate forecasts, and forecast alarms with threshold-based notifications for precipitation, snowfall, wind gusts, and temperature extremes.
• Enroute API Weather-aware route monitoring API that splits a driver's planned route into Uber H3 hexagonal segments and returns real-time nowcast data (lightning, thunderstorm, precipitation) for the current segment and NWP forecast data for upcoming segments, enabling proactive driving decisions and fleet management adjustments.
• Real-Time Lightning Intelligence for Wind Energy Specialized lightning data service for wind farm operators supporting compliance with IEC 61400-1, IEC 61400-24, ISO 31000, and ISO 55000 standards. Includes real-time lightning alerts (5-30 km radius), dynamic risk mapping, event logging, exposure-based maintenance forecasting, and 24-72 hour risk outlook for turbine protection and O&M scheduling. Annual service fees typically range from $10,000-$30,000 per wind farm.
• MCP Server Model Context Protocol server that exposes the full iklim.co REST API as 57 tools across 9 categories (Lightning, Thunderstorm, Precipitation, Forecast, Auth & User, Account, Point Alarms, Geo Alarms, Forecast Alarms), enabling AI assistants such as Claude and OpenClaw to interact with live weather data via natural language commands. Features automatic JWT authentication and HMAC-SHA256 request signing.

Broad incumbents

• Vaisala: Global leader in weather and environmental measurement instrumentation, including lightning detection (GLD360) and aviation/energy weather systems. Represents a hardware-rooted incumbent that competes in lightning intelligence for wind energy and infrastructure customers.
• DTN: Established enterprise weather data provider serving agriculture, energy, transportation, and insurance with global datasets and operational forecasting. A broad incumbent that competes for the same enterprise RFPs as iklim.co, with much deeper global coverage.
• Earth Networks (now part of DTN): Operated one of the world's largest commercial lightning detection networks (ENTLN) and severe weather alerting, with deep insurance and energy customers. Now part of DTN, but historically the closest analog to iklim.co's proprietary lightning detection moat.
• IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite (formerly The Weather Company): IBM-owned global weather and environmental data platform offering APIs, severe weather alerting, and analytics used by insurers and energy operators. Represents the large-incumbent alternative in enterprise weather intelligence deals.

Direct peers

• Baron Weather: Provides precision weather data, storm tracking, and severe weather alerting for broadcast, insurance, energy, and government markets. Comparable to iklim.co in its focus on actionable storm intelligence for operational and insurance decisioning.
• Tomorrow.io: Weather intelligence platform providing enterprise APIs for real-time, forecast, and historical weather data, with explicit insurance and energy use cases. Closest direct competitor to iklim.co in business model, API-first delivery, and vertical GTM.
• Visual Crossing: Weather data API provider offering historical, forecast, and severe weather datasets to enterprise developers. Compares to iklim.co as an API-first weather intelligence provider, though with a broader horizontal rather than vertical focus.
• Meteomatics: Enterprise weather API and data provider offering high-resolution global forecasts, historical data, and nowcasting for energy, insurance, and logistics. Directly comparable API-first business model and enterprise GTM.
• Climavision: Provides high-resolution weather forecasting, radar gap-filling, and AI-driven severe weather alerting for insurance, energy, and logistics customers. Overlaps directly with iklim.co's storm detection and insurance fraud/claim verification use cases.

Emerging players

• Jupiter Intelligence: Climate risk analytics platform for insurance, financial services, and infrastructure, focused on physical climate and severe weather risk. Adjacent peer competing for the same insurance buyer, with stronger financial risk modeling but less real-time alerting depth than iklim.co.
