Great visual to help explain compounding error.
Why the massive uncertainty surrounding #Florence after 7 days? It's called "compounding error." Here's what it looks like:

We have invited three meteorologists from our partners at @weathercompany to join us for a #Reinsurance roundtable on September 26th. RSVP here: hubs.ly/H0dFld90. Come have an open discussion about your ever changing weather/peril data requirements. #Bermuda

Definitely got a spinner in potential tropical cyclone #6. Environmental conditions ahead of system has some pitfalls that should keep it at bay for a while. Should be windy and wet at times over southern Cabo Verde's today.

Smart Contracts are a perfect match for the weather derivative market, which should enable the development of new products, faster access to capital for buyers, and lower operational costs for the insurer.

"The Atlantic Meridional Mode was at its 2nd highest December value on record (since 1950) in 2017. Warm tropical north Atlantic with relatively cool tropical south Atlantic. Persistence (or lack thereof) of these anomalies could play an important role in 2018 #hurricane season"

Interesting find by @philklotzbach. After H,I,M in 2017, I don't think the Caribbean can take another season like that. #reinsurance xitter.gq/philklotzbach/status/9…
