Its patent-pending technology, delivers hyper-local weather data for any LAT/LONG point and for many geographic areas such as ZIP or postal codes, census blocks or tracks, metropolitan statistical areas, or designated market areas. Weather Source will add to Pelmorex Corp’s portfolio of brands, including The Weather Network, MétéoMédia, EITiempo.es, OTempo.pt and Clima, as the company broadens its data solutions business.
