When the heat exceeds what we planned for

In June 2021, meteorologists had flagged an anomaly building over the Pacific Northwest that rewrote climate records. Lytton, British Columbia, hit 49.6°C, the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada. Nearly 600 people died in the province within a week.

The region lacked a severity framework scaled to what was actually arriving. Infrastructure, emergency services, and public health systems were calibrated for summers that no longer existed.

Ambee’s extreme temperature API combines event-level heatwave and cold spell data with severity classifications and alert levels, so your systems reflect how dangerous the risk is.

How temperature events ripple through industries

manufacturing icon

Insurance and underwriting

Heatwave severity is changing every summer. Underwriting teams can use location-specific extreme temperature event history with alert classifications per event, to price climate risk against what's actually occurring at a property.

Insurance icon

Agriculture

A sustained heat window degrades yield quietly, or a late frost that arrives after bud break. Access to historical temperature event data by coordinates and date range gives agri-operations and crop insurers the timeline to reconstruct what happened before the damage compounds.

Real estate and construction

Pharma and cold chain logistics

A heatwave at a distribution hub or in a last-mile delivery zone is a product integrity event. Real-time severity alerts let logistics and quality teams intervene before the shipment, not after the complaint.

Energy and utilities

Cold snaps collapse systems built for mild winters, as February 2021 in Texas demonstrated for $195 billion. Severity-rated temperature event data gives grid operators and energy traders the lead time that general forecasts don't carry.

How Ambee delivers temperature intelligence at global scale
