Low-Earth orbit satellite global weather intelligence provider Tomorrow.io will partner with the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to help farmers adapt to climate change and boost productivity using Artificial Intelligence in the Philippines.

The two organizations said the partnership comes at critical time during the regional monsoon (habagat) season. “In 2024 alone, the agriculture sector suffered ₱57.78 billion in damages due to weather disturbances, affecting over 1.4 million farmers and fishers. It resulted in the loss of 2.19 million metric tons of production across nearly 1 million hectares, based on data from the DA’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations Center. These figures underscore the urgent need for climate-resilient practices and more effective forecasting tools,” Tomorrow.io said in the announcement.

Tomorrow.io, which also provides services to U.S. agencies NOAA, NASA, and Department of Defense, utilizes a proprietary network of low-orbit satellites that enable micro-weather forecasting at the plot level for more accurate predictions.
