New research out from DTN puts a number on something event professionals already know in their gut.

More than 90% of weather-related decisions happen within 48 hours of an event. Nearly a third happen during live ex*****on, as conditions are actively changing.

The problem isn't access to weather data. It's translating that data into confident, timely action - while simultaneously managing safety, operations, finances, and stakeholders in real time.

That confidence gap is where things go wrong.

The DTN report - Weather Risk in Event Operations: The Gap Between Forecasts, Decisions, and Outcomes - is worth a read if weather is any part of your event planning.

Key finding that stood out: repeated weather disruptions can accumulate financial impact well beyond $25,000, sometimes exceeding $100,000.
