ArabiaWeather, a leading private weather company in the Arab world, has been dubbed as the first and primary source for weather information in the UAE by Alexa.com, a California-based subsidiary of Amazon.com that provides commercial web traffic data and Google Analytics, the most widely used website statistics service.

It was lauded for its comprehensive coverage and accurate forecasts during the time that a low pressure system hit the UAE and Oman from January 18 to 20.

The firm was able to provide daily reports and bulletins about the low pressure system as early as January 13, forecasting snowfall along the UAE’s ‘Jebel Al Jais’ area and Oman’s ‘Jebel Shams’ area.

During the same period, ArabiaWeather was constantly sending out weather warning notifications to its mobile application subscribers on iOS and Android - keeping them well-informed and prepared for the low pressure system volatility.

In addition, a special team from ArabiaWeather produced video bulletins and updates on the low pressure system’s progression, which were posted on YouTube, the ArabiaWeather website and other social media networks.

According to its analysis, the company maintained a 95 per cent certainty that the low pressure system would hit Oman and the UAE. - TradeArabia News Service
