30-year climate normals, live multi-source conditions, government alerts, radar, production safety thresholds, and AI-synthesized weather briefings — built specifically for film and television production.
Whether you're a Production Manager building a schedule, a Safety Coordinator assessing crew exposure, or a Line Producer reviewing location viability — everything you need is in one place. For active shoots, a Tempest weather station and live camera feed bring real-time conditions directly from your location.
Designed for every member of a production who needs to understand how weather will affect their work — not just the scouts who found the location.
30-year historical averages from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Understand what a location is typically like in any given month — temperature range, precipitation days, sunshine hours, and wind — before you commit to a schedule or budget.
Real-time conditions fused from five independent sources: METAR aviation reports, Ambient Weather personal weather stations, Synoptic Data commercial network, TWC Currents on Demand, and Environment Canada GEM model output. Co-located stations are deduplicated automatically. Confidence-weighted — the most reliable reading anchors the ensemble, outliers are flagged not discarded.
Adverse conditions surface automatically before you look at anything else — aviation briefing order. Ontario Film & TV Safety Guidelines cold-work periods, MEWP and condor wind limits, Environment Canada heat protocols, and the 30/30 lightning rule are evaluated against live conditions and displayed with specific threshold citations. No manual lookup required.
Select your shoot window and receive a risk assessment combining 30-year historical patterns and the 10-day GEM forecast. Derived indices — EC wind chill, humidex, apparent temperature — are computed and compared against your climate normals so you know whether today is typical or anomalous for the season.
Claude reasons over the full picture — multi-source observations, trend direction, inter-station spatial agreement, NWP forecast, climate normals, and site microclimate patterns from past visits — and issues one plain-language production recommendation. Includes atmospheric pattern framing, phenomena identification, 6-hour trend summary, and a reasoned confidence assessment.
Download formatted .docx weather reports with data tables, source attribution, and the AI narrative — ready for a location binder, production package, or insurance submission. Generate a read-only share link for directors, DPs, or insurers who don't have a CINERA account.
When your production moves to location, a CINERA-managed Tempest weather station delivers hyper-local readings from the exact point where your crew will be working — not the nearest airport, not a model grid cell. Wind speed, gusts, temperature, humidity, UV index, barometric pressure, and lightning strike distance, updated every minute.
An on-site camera feed provides live visual confirmation of conditions — no more relying on a forecast from twenty kilometres away when you have eyes on the location in real time. Severe weather push notifications alert your production team the moment conditions cross thresholds that matter.
On-site monitoring is available to productions with an active CINERA engagement. Contact your Location Manager to arrange station deployment.
Wind, temperature, humidity, UV, pressure, and lightning — updated every 60 seconds from the exact location. Data flows directly into the CINERA dashboard alongside the ensemble.
On-site camera integrated into the monitoring dashboard. Visual confirmation of conditions for crew safety calls and remote production oversight.
Configurable threshold alerts for wind, lightning proximity, and precipitation. Your production team is notified the moment conditions change — not after.
The same underlying weather data, surfaced differently depending on what you need.
Build weather-aware schedules. Use historical monthly patterns to understand how likely weather disruptions are on key shoot days. Review risk assessments for exterior locations before locking the strip board.
Adverse conditions surface automatically — cold-work period classifications, MEWP and condor wind limits, heat protocols, and lightning status are evaluated against live conditions before you read anything else. Active Environment Canada alerts appear at the top of every forecast view. Export a formal weather record for your safety plan.
Evaluate location feasibility from a budget perspective. Understand seasonal weather patterns and potential disruption costs before committing to a location or insurance policy.
Share professional weather reports with directors, DPs, and commissions. Generate AI-written briefings calibrated for client-facing language and export polished .docx packages. Monitor active shoot locations in real time.
Weather narratives and ensemble analyses are generated by Anthropic's Claude AI. The model reads the full data picture — multi-source current conditions, trend direction, inter-station spatial agreement, the NWP model forecast, 30-year climate normals, and site microclimate patterns from past visits — and synthesizes a structured production briefing with atmospheric context, phenomena identification, and a reasoned confidence assessment. This is a genuine analytical step, not a summary of a single data point.
AI-generated content is clearly labelled throughout the platform. It is a production planning aid — not a forecast issued by a national meteorological service, and not produced by a certified meteorologist. Don't use it as your only check before a crew call in marginal conditions. Always verify current conditions and any active Environment Canada alerts before committing crew to an exterior location.
Your content and location data are never used to train AI models. The prompt sent to Anthropic contains the location's geographic coordinates, weather station observations, and forecast data for the requested location — no user account information, property owner details, or personally identifiable information about individuals. CINERA does not share your data with Anthropic beyond what is required to process the request.

Historical climate data is included with all CINERA accounts. Live forecasting and ensemble analysis are available per production. On-site monitoring is arranged through your Location Manager for active shoots.
All Accounts
Historical climate data is included with every CINERA account. 30-year normals, month-by-month temperature and precipitation breakdowns, and year-over-year comparisons are available for any location without additional setup.
Per Production
Live forecasting, multi-source ensemble conditions, government alerts, radar, production safety intelligence, AI ensemble analysis, and .docx export are enabled per production. Contact your Location Manager or CINERA to activate for an upcoming shoot.
Active Shoot
On-site Tempest weather station deployment, live camera feed integration, and push alert notifications are available for productions with an active CINERA engagement. Arranged through your Location Manager.
