Weather Visualization - MetX
AI Assistant
The new AI chat and text assistant is designed to make the platform faster and easier to use from the start. Dashboard setup, data exploration, and weather queries can now also be handled through natural language via the AI assistant.
Whether you're new to MetX or working under time pressure, the assistant simplifies interaction and helps you get to what you need, a lot faster.
Custom Colormaps
Teams can now align weather visuals with their internal standards and regional expectations, reducing misinterpretation and speeding up decision-making. This is particularly useful for global organizations working with different visualization conventions.
Create and manage custom colormaps by tailoring templates to your needs. Min/max thresholds can be defined to control how data ranges are rendered.
Thunderstorm Tracking
You can now track thunderstorms directly in MetX, making it easier to anticipate impacts and react in time, especially in industries like aviation, energy, utilities, or any outdoor operations where storms quickly become operational risks.
The feature lets you follow storm cells as they develop and move, and filter them by severity (from decaying to high) as well as by stage (historical track, active cell, or projected impact area), so you can focus on what actually matters in the moment.

Near Real-Time Event Validation
You can now verify weather events almost instantly, instead of waiting until the next day.
This means claims can be validated while the customer is still on the phone, speeding up processing and significantly improving the customer experience.
Model Availability
CHC-CHIRPS v3 Integration
You now have access to CHIRPS v3 data from the Climate Hazards Center (CHC), adding a reliable, high-resolution precipitation dataset for long-term analysis.
This is particularly useful for climate risk assessments, agriculture, and infrastructure planning, especially in regions where ground observations are limited.
The dataset combines satellite (infrared) data with in-situ station measurements, offering a consistent view of precipitation at a 5 km resolution. It covers historical data from 1981 and is updated monthly, with each release providing data for the previous month.
Parameters
Global Reflectivity
You can now access reflectivity data globally, giving you a consistent way to monitor storm intensity across different regions. This makes it easier to track and compare severe weather, especially for operations spanning multiple geographies.
Reflectivity shows how much energy is reflected back by precipitation particles such as rain, snow, or hail, and is derived from both radar observations and weather models.
