Energy Trading Forecast

Population-weighted forecast of daily mean temperatures in Europe

Do you need information on potential cold surges or heat waves to estimate future energy needs? Our Energy Trading Forecast provides a rapid population-weighted overview of daily mean temperatures in European countries. Future meteorological conditions are mapped in line with the demand by using temperature forecasts and calculations of deviation from the long-term mean climate pattern. Daily mean temperatures can be forecast for today and the following two days (Day-Ahead), for the current week (Intra-Week) and for the coming week (Week-Ahead).
