The Weather Company
IBM-owned weather data and API provider powering Weather.com and enterprise forecasting for aviation, energy and logistics.
The Weather Company operates the consumer-facing Weather.com and Weather Channel app properties alongside a separate enterprise data and API business built on IBM's Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (GRAF). It has been part of IBM since 2016 and is integrated with IBM's broader enterprise software and AI stack. Airlines, utilities, government agencies and logistics operators use its enterprise APIs for operational forecasting and severe weather alerting for business continuity. Its scale of consumer app usage, which feeds data back into model calibration, alongside enterprise-grade APIs and IBM's distribution channel, differentiates it from independent weather-data specialists.
