Overview of Weather - Forecast Data

Description of the dataset

  • Drawing on weather centres across Asia, the US and the EU, LSEG delivers forecast weather intelligence for commodities markets where weather materially affects supply, demand and price formation. We provide forecasts across varying periods with meteorologist-led analysis focused on key agriculture, power and gas markets and regions.
  • LSEG helps customers incorporate forward-looking weather expectations into trading, risk, logistics and planning workflows. Our forecast content supports market participants assessing temperature, precipitation and other atmospheric drivers that influence crop conditions, power load, gas demand and regional commodity fundamentals.
  • We structure Weather Forecast Data using standardised dimensions, elements, element IDs, names, descriptions, short names and abbreviations to support consistent interpretation across downstream systems. LSEG also maintains metadata such as PermIDs, source references, language information and name types to strengthen data mapping, governance and reuse.
  • LSEG documents this dataset through a 61-row data dictionary that supports onboarding, discovery and integration. We use the field-level metadata to help customers understand the dimensional structure behind forecast attributes and connect weather fundamentals with broader commodities workflows.
