Case Study: Barcelona, Spain achieves accurate forecast of rare snowfall during Mobile World Congress with AccuWeather For Business

AccuWeather Predicts Rare Barcelona Snowfall during Mobile World Conference, Others Call for Rain

Barcelona Spain faced an unusual weather challenge during the 2018 GSMA Mobile World Congress when unseasonably cold air brought a rare snowfall to the coastal city. Many providers forecast rain (one even predicted dry weather), but AccuWeather For Business used its extended forecast capability to identify the likelihood of rain mixed with snow and alerted stakeholders ahead of the event.

AccuWeather For Business’ extended forecast accurately predicted the rain/snow mix for Feb. 27–28; observations at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport confirmed the mix from 1:30–3:00 a.m. on the 27th and 5:45–8:30 a.m. on the 28th. By providing timely, precise guidance when others were wrong, AccuWeather For Business helped attendees and organizations plan, operate safely, and mitigate weather-related disruptions during a major international conference.
