Regional use cases

Four settings where the outlook is read differently, because the hazard, the lead time that matters and the decision being made are all different.

The four settings

  • Haor pre-monsoon flash flood: short lead time, boro harvest timing, road and embankment access.
  • Coastal cyclone storm surge: wind and surge exposure, evacuation timing, shelter planning.
  • Barind agricultural drought: slow onset, soil-moisture and vegetation indices drive the decision.
  • Sub-Himalayan cold snap: cold-wave severity and crop-stage sensitivity in the north-west.
