Sandstorm Forecast
Give your viewers the information they need to prepare for sand and dust storms in your
region. The StormGeo dust potential index combines factors such as past weather, surface
conditions and standard weather forecasts to predict potential storms.
Sand and dust storms appear on regular basis in regions with dry conditions and scarce vegetation with low ability to bind
the soil. Small particles are picked up by the wind and travel long distances, the first thing you see is often a big wall of sand
coming your way. The effect is sometimes devastating for people and property, causing crops to die out and cities to be
buried under a thick layer of sand.

Best data quality
By analyzing vegetation coverage, soil types and
other surface conditions we know the potential
of a new storm rising up if the weather conditions are right. This information is combined with
best quality weather forecasts from the European
Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to predict the risk and severity of sand and
dust storms. The risk index is easily translated into
a low-medium-high scale which is intuitive to relate to.
All data are available world wide, both as maps
and as point data. This gives you an excellent tool
to alert your target group early in advance when
the potential of the storms are high, medium or
low.
