Raising Weather Awareness for Aviation
Weather is a critical factor in aviation operations. From private pilots to commercial airliners and drone operators, understanding the conditions aircraft and crews will encounter is essential for safe, efficient decision-making.
Weather Data for Aviation Operations
Weather plays a critical role in aviation safety, efficiency, and operational planning. From private pilots to commercial airlines, flight dispatchers, and drone operators, reliable weather information helps aviation teams make informed decisions about airspace, routing, fuel management, and safety protocols.
Wet Dog Weather provides a weather data platform that helps aviation teams integrate, process, and apply weather and sensor data across flight planning systems, dashboards, and operational interfaces.

Why Aviation Needs Accurate Weather Data
Conditions both near the surface and at altitude can significantly affect flight operations. Variables such as wind speed and direction, visibility, turbulence, icing, and thunderstorms must be considered for safe and efficient flight planning and execution. Up-to-date weather data supports operational decisions across multiple disciplines in aviation, including pilots, dispatchers, and airport operations teams.
