Sector Intelligence
North West weather intelligence for the work you do
Built for businesses and organisations across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cumbria and Cheshire. The same in-house model data behind CW Weather Premium, combined with local knowledge of how the region's hills, coasts and valleys behave, and shaped around the decisions each sector makes every day. Instead of reading charts, you get the answer to the question that matters: should we grit tonight, can we spray tomorrow, will the weekend weather bring customers in?
Roads & Gritting
Live
Ice, snow and road-surface risk for winter decisions.
Overnight road-surface and air temperature forecasts, ice and snow risk, and a written gritting briefing for North West England, so you know whether, when and where to treat. Local knowledge of the region's frost hollows, high routes and coastal fringes is built into every briefing.
Useful for: North West councils and highways teams, gritting contractors, facilities and estates managers, schools, hospitals, and any business with car parks or walkways to keep safe.
Farming
Live
Field-level weather windows for the farming week.
Forecast tools built around the decisions North West farmers make every day, from the Fylde and the Cheshire plain to the Lancashire and Cumbrian uplands, using the same high-resolution models behind the premium charts and local knowledge of how conditions vary across the region.
Useful for: Arable, livestock and mixed farms, contractors and agronomists across the North West.
Retail
Live
How the coming weather is likely to move your customers.
Weather-driven planning for North West shops, hospitality and events: turning the local forecast into signals you can act on for staffing, stock and promotions.
Useful for: Shops, garden centres, cafés, pubs and restaurants, market traders, coastal and Lake District tourism, and event organisers across the region.
