MeteoGroup

What MeteoGroup does

MeteoGroup, founded in 1986 and headquartered in London, is a weather forecasting and intelligence business that has been integrated into DTN, a U.S.-based decision intelligence platform serving weather-sensitive industries globally. Under the DTN umbrella, MeteoGroup's capabilities and brands (including MeteoGuard, WeatherSentry, ProphetX, WeatherOps, ClearAg, IQFeed, and MyDTN) form part of a platform serving agriculture, refined fuels, aviation, marine, mining, transportation, utilities, and outdoor safety. The technology stack combines proprietary observational data, decision-grade data infrastructure, and operational AI processing 82 million daily API calls, backed by a portfolio of 1,600 patents and ISO certifications for data security and quality. The NVIDIA Earth-2 partnership on AWS underpins AI weather modeling capabilities.

The business operates a vertical-specific go-to-market with enterprise field sales organized around sector hubs (Ag Hub, Refined Fuels Hub, Weather Hub). Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based weather intelligence contracts with annual billing cadence, supplemented by professional meteorological consulting services for sectors such as aviation, mining, and offshore operations. Sub-brands are mapped to specific industry personas (producers, agribusiness, traders, terminal operators, sellers, buyers, airport operations, helicopter operators, etc.), enabling role-specific pricing and product packaging. Distribution is direct enterprise plus an API and developer portal for programmatic technical customers, with mobile applications for producer and trader segments.

Key scale indicators include representation of 950 U.S. farms in the agriculture platform, 85% market share in the U.S. refined fuel market, operations across 126 countries, and 24/7 weather operations. CEO Patrick Schneidau leads the broader DTN organization. The MeteoGroup brand continues to operate as the weather-focused identity within DTN's portfolio, with founder Harry Otten (founder) and Marc Chesover (president) listed in current leadership references for the MeteoGroup entity.

• Vaisala: Vaisala is a global leader in weather, environmental, and industrial measurement instruments plus related data services. Comparable to DTN's aviation sensor products (AWOS, LLWAS) and broader weather observation infrastructure.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights: S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly Platts) provides pricing, analytics, and market intelligence for energy and agricultural commodities. Directly overlaps with DTN's Refined Fuels Hub (ProphetX, IQFeed) and agricultural market intelligence products.

Direct peers

• AccuWeather: AccuWeather is one of the largest commercial weather providers globally, serving media, enterprise, and consumer markets with forecasting and severe-weather alerting. Direct overlap with MeteoGroup/DTN in enterprise and media weather data products.
• Earth Networks: Earth Networks operates a global weather observation network and provides enterprise weather data, lightning detection, and decision-support services. Comparable to DTN's MeteoGuard alerting and Sferic Maps products.

Emerging players

• Tomorrow.io: Tomorrow.io is a weather intelligence platform combining proprietary satellite/radar with AI forecasting for aviation, construction, and logistics. Targets many of the same enterprise verticals as DTN with a newer, API-first product model.
• Climavision: Climavision offers AI-enhanced weather forecasting and radar gap-filling solutions for enterprise, aviation, and utility customers. Comparable to DTN's utilities, aviation, and severe-weather offerings.
• Spire Global: Spire Global operates a satellite constellation producing radio occultation weather data and maritime/aviation tracking. Comparable to DTN's space-based data ambitions and aviation/marine intelligence layers.
• Jupiter Intelligence: Jupiter Intelligence provides climate risk analytics for physical and transition risk, serving financial institutions and infrastructure owners. Comparable to DTN's weather-risk and climate risk offerings under the broader climate risk TAM.

Others

• Bureau of Meteorology / NOAA (government weather services): Government weather agencies (NOAA, UK Met Office, ECMWF) provide foundational weather data and forecasts that both compete with and underpin commercial weather services like MeteoGroup/DTN. They are partial substitutes at the data layer and important ecosystem partners.
