Contingencias: Weather & Hail

Contingencias is the weather app for people who need to act on the forecast — not just read it. Backyard orchard owners, hobby farmers, homesteaders, and homeowners use Contingencias to get hyperlocal alerts before frost, hail, lightning, and severe storms hit.

We watch the sky so you don't have to.

❄️ FROST & FREEZE FORECASTS
Hyperlocal frost forecasts powered by Met Norway data and classified on a 0–4 severity scale, so you know exactly when to act.
• Class 0: no frost risk
• Class 1: light frost
• Class 2: moderate frost
• Class 3: hard freeze
• Class 4: severe freeze
Push alerts arrive before the temperature drops — protect citrus, almonds, apples, stone fruit, and tender plants.

☔ HAIL DETECTION FROM SPACE
Real-time hail detection using the GOES-19 satellite. We track storm cores as they form and alert you before hail reaches your property.
• Live satellite imagery
• Storm core tracking near your location
• Push alerts for hail risk
• Coverage across all of the Americas via GOES-19
Save your roof, your car, and your harvest with minutes of warning.

⚡ LIGHTNING & SEVERE STORM ALERTS
• Real-time lightning strike data
• Distance-based notifications (e.g. "lightning within 5 miles")
• Severe storm warnings
Stop guessing whether it's safe to be outside.

🌪️ AIR QUALITY (AQI)
Daily AQI powered by CAMS and ECMWF.
• Hourly AQI updates
• Health-based recommendations
• Plan outdoor work and family time around clean air

🌎 EARTHQUAKE ALERTS
Real-time seismic alerts via the EMSC global network.
