How do businesses get access to your site?
The site was originally reserved for client access to our complete suite of weather solutions - including year-ahead daily/weekly forecasts and history
back to January 1992 - but is now also available to businesses who only want to purchase a small subset of our available locations. For more
information on obtaining access to the cities of your choosing, contact Karen Kyker at 610-807-0118 or e-mail
kkyker@wxtrends.com.
How Accurate are your forecasts?
Our year-ahead forecasts over the past year have averaged 85% accurate here in the U.S. On average, the forecasts are 80% to 90% accurate on temperatures
and 65% to 90% for precipitation. The site offers validation of our year-ahead forecasts every day - the only weather company in the industry to
instantly validate and publish year-ahead accuracy statistics. Large fortune 500 companies have used this same forecasting technology for 100
million dollar wins!
The forecasts don't change once they're made, why?
We use a statistical/math based proprietary trade secret forecasting model built off a 100+ years of weather history to assess future weather trends.
This type of forecasting is much more reliable for long range projections and has proven itself over the past five years with some of America's
most successful and respected companies like Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Target, Bon-Ton, Agway, Sherwin Williams, Johnson & Johnson, Anheuser-Busch, SC Johnson, Pizza Hut, 3M, Levis, Citigroup,
and about one hundred others.

How often is your forecast updated?
A new forecast is issued by Weather Trends International on the 15th of every month and is then incorporated into MYskeye.com. Previous
forecasts do not change once they're made as there is no new information in our math/statistical model to warrant a change.
How long has Weather Trends International been in business?
While our technology has been around since the late 1980s, we've been working with large retailers, manufacturers, financial analysts and
agricultural firms since 2002. Prior to 2002 the technology was used to assist the ski industry, energy companies and agricultural
applications from 1993-1997 under the name Weather By Design Inc.
When will a consumer version be available?
Very soon you'll find our forecasts in common consumer travel, wedding and vacation web sites.
Do you have real meteorologists on staff?
In addition to all knowing Myskeye Guy, we have a resident PhD climatologist on staff and many other degreed business meteorologists from Rutgers University (3),
Millersville University (4), Plymouth State University (1), The State University of New York (1), Syracuse University (1) and the University of Wyoming (1).
