The difference

Why climate zone calibration changes everything.

Standard weather APIs give you raw measurements — temperature in °C, wind in km/h, rainfall in mm. Useful, but not actionable. To make a decision, you need context.

Is 32°C dangerous? It depends. In Oslo, it triggers a Heat Stress warning. In Dubai, it's a mild morning. In Nairobi's highlands, it's extreme. A threshold that ignores this is not intelligence — it's noise.

Every Velox alert is calibrated to the GPS-classified climate zone of the monitored site — using Köppen-inspired classification built on latitude, altitude and the growing measurement history accumulated by each deployed node — updated continuously, with no expiry.

Our data hierarchy: Physical sensor nodes are our primary source — temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall, air quality measured on site. Atmospheric models are used solely to enrich and calibrate specific indices — never as a substitute for ground-truth capture.

Climate zone classification

10 climate zones. Every site GPS-classified.

Based on Köppen-inspired classification — latitude, altitude and continuously accumulated measurements from deployed ground nodes. Every Velox site is classified at deployment and updated 4x/year.
