COVID-19 impact on the Weather Forecasting Services Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the weather forecasting services market significantly. Due to the grounding of most of the global fleet, there has been a dramatic reduction in commercial aircraft flights, which supplies crucial weather observations. Information from commercial planes is one of several sources that meteorological bodies use to predict the weather and contribute to the accuracy of forecasting most weather phenomena, including hurricanes. At the end of March 2020, data provided by US aircraft fell 50%, while, as per the European Centre of Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMRWF), readings provided by aircraft across the continent reduced by 80%. The center estimates that if all data provided by aircraft were cut off, the accuracy of weather forecasts would fall about 15%. There will be a significant drawback in both short and long-term readings due to the impact of COVID-19 on the global airline industry.
