Weather intelligence for cities & municipalities

From city block
to park bench —
hyperlocal urban intelligence

A weather station 5 km away tells you nothing about the heat island on the shopping street, the cool corridor along the canal, or the air quality spike near the junction. We do.

Challenge 01  Â·  Urban Heat Stress

Heat stress varies street by street — measure it where it matters

Urban heat is not uniform. A shaded park can be 8–10 °C cooler than the nearby shopping street at the same time on the same afternoon. Pavements, building facades, asphalt, and lack of greenery trap and re-radiate heat in ways that make standard regional weather models — or a single rooftop station — deeply misleading for public health decisions.

MeteoA's Trofic heat-stress instruments are completely wireless, battery-powered, and communicate via LoRaWAN. They can be installed almost anywhere — lamppost, park fence, playground, bus stop, riverside promenade — in a matter of hours, with no electrician and no network cabling. Each node measures Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), the international standard for thermal stress on the human body, accounting for air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and wind together.

LoEco processes the network into neighbourhood-level heat-stress maps, updated every 10 minutes. These feed early warning systems for vulnerable residents, inform public communications during heat events, and provide the evidence base for long-term urban planning — where trees, water features, and surface materials make the measurable difference.

Neighbourhood heat maps & dashboards

Live and historical WBGT maps at street level. Interpolated surfaces showing where heat risk is highest across the city, updated in real time during heat events.

🔔

Early warning systems

Threshold-based alerts for public health teams, care services, and communications teams when WBGT approaches or exceeds risk thresholds — before the peak, not after it.

Reports & expert opinions

Authored measurement reports for heat events, planning inquiries, and environmental impact assessments. Expert advice on how proposed development — new buildings, surface materials, green infrastructure — will shift the local thermal environment.

Challenge 02  Â·  Air Quality

Measure air pollution where people breathe — not where it's convenient

National air quality monitoring networks are designed to meet regulatory reporting needs, not to capture the localised pollution that affects residents at a busy junction, a school near a logistics hub, or a park downwind from an industrial estate. The gaps between official stations — often 5–15 km in urban areas — leave the most exposed communities without data.

MeteoA deploys compact, validated air quality sensors wherever observations are needed: at street level, on school buildings, at park entrances, or alongside traffic management infrastructure. Our sensor range measures the pollutants of greatest public health concern — fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone — with readings transmitted continuously to the LoEco platform.

Data is visualised as real-time maps and time-series dashboards, with threshold alerts for public communication and compliance support. Combined with MeteoA's meteorological measurements, the platform also provides dispersion context — showing how wind direction, temperature inversion, and humidity relate to the pollution peaks your residents are experiencing.

From sensor network to urban insight

A complete pipeline from instrument deployment to evidence-based city decisions.

01

Network design & deployment

We design the sensor network to capture the spatial variability that matters for your city — heat corridors, busy junctions, park microclimates, vulnerable residential areas — and install without mains power or network cabling.

02

Continuous data & maps

All nodes update every 10 minutes. LoEco processes the network into spatially interpolated maps and time-series dashboards accessible via browser or API — for internal teams or public-facing displays.

03

Alerts & early warnings

Configurable thresholds trigger automated alerts to public health staff, communications teams, and emergency services — giving the lead time needed to act before a heat event peaks or air quality deteriorates.

04

Reports & expert advice

Authored measurement reports for planning applications, heat event post-analyses, and environmental impact assessments. Expert opinions on how proposed development will affect the urban climate — backed by local measurement data.
