Weather Graphics
We produce more than 600 graphics which update as frequently as every 15 minutes.

Most graphics are full-color GIF maps, optimized for the Internet, including topography where applicable. Depending on the amount of weather activity depicted, our graphics range in size from about 15,000 bytes to about 50,000 bytes. Our standard image size is 640 x 460 pixels. Other sizes can be created to meet your specifications.

Weather Text Reports
Our text reports include short- and medium-term outlooks, summaries, and other forecasts. We focus almost solely on the commodity markets, covering all the major crop-growing regions around the world. Our energy forecasts are regional, tied to power and gas trading patterns, and our shipping forecasts focus on the major oil loading and offloading areas of the world. WeatherMarkets.com's text reports are in plain ASCII format, making the file small and easily incorporated into web sites or intranets.
