Tomorrow.io

Tomorrow.io (formerly ClimaCell; legally known as The Tomorrow Companies Inc. ) is an American weather technology company. It provides real-time weather forecasting services and APIs.

History
The company was founded in 2016 as ClimaCell to develop a real-time weather forecasting service based on cellular and IoT monitoring systems.

In February 2021, Tomorrow.io announced Operation Tomorrow Space. The company hoped to broaden its business model by launching proprietary radar satellites to improve its forecasting abilities. In March of that year, it announced that it had raised $77 million in a series D round of funding.

Technology
Tomorrow.io's primary goal was to use wireless communication infrastructure and IoT devices to collect real-time weather data. The company aimed to report conditions closer to the ground than satellite and higher resolution than Doppler weather radar techniques.

The information includes measurements on temperature, wind and precipitation data. After two years of development, Tomorrow.io's Weather Intelligence Platform (formerly Hypercast) was publicly launched in April 2017.

The company's Operation Tomorrow Space is launching weather radar satellites to improve forecasting accuracy and coverage. The first satellite of the constellation, Tomorrow-R1, launched on 15 April 2023 on a SpaceX's Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket as part of the Transporter-7 rideshare mission. The system operates in the Ka band to detect precipitation and ocean surface characteristics. The company plans to launch 20 satellites with a combination of active radar and passive microwave sensors.

Business model
The company's software is designed to provide information to aviation, construction, insurance, sports, and utility services. Clients include JetBlue Airways, Delta, and the New England Patriots.

Tomorrow.io launched a mobile weather app, ClimaCell Weather, in 2019. The app was later renamed to Weather by Tomorrow.
