Your Guide to Understanding Weather Insurance
Parametric Weather Insurance is a type of insurance that triggers payouts based on predefined weather parameters, such as rainfall levels, temperature, or wind speed. Unlike traditional insurance, it doesn't require physical damage assessments. Payments are made when specific weather conditions, as outlined in the policy, are met.

It's also beneficial for industries like tourism, event planning, and construction, where adverse weather can disrupt activities and cause financial losses.
