Umi™ and ENSO: A Performance Review from our June 2024 Release to September 2024
Most ENSO models predicted La Niña conditions developing over late summer into fall, while Planette’s Umi™ predicted neutral conditions.

Umi™ ENSO Forecasts
Umi™ is an advanced, physics-based, AI-enhanced forecast system that predicts the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), beating the best existing ENSO forecasting models in the world.
Skillful ENSO forecasts are immensely valuable to the world economy: a 1% improvement in ENSO prediction accuracy conservatively translates to $18B in exposure reduction for a one-standard-deviation shock.
Don't Be Caught Off-Guard
The Nino 3.4 Index is the most widely used indicator of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific Ocean. The index is used to identify the phase of ENSO, which has significant teleconnections to weather patterns around the world.
Umi™ Beats Every Other Forecast On The Market
Peer Into The Future
Umi™ is the most accurate El Niño forecast on the planet and it's the only ENSO product to beat the notorious spring predictability barrier.
Manage Your Volatility
The Nino 3.4 index accounts for over one-third of year-to-year fluctuations in global temperature, rainfall, and other critical environmental variables.
Pinpoint Growing Seasons
Get a handle on growing season conditions around the world — frost days, growing degree days, water resource availability, intense rainfall, and aridity.
Avoid Portfolio Shocks
Globally, each of the last 2 Super El Niño events have been associated with $5T USD in global losses — be in the know before the shock hits your portfolio, and your wallet.
Anticipate Severe Weather Risks
The Nino 3.4 Index is the most important global predictor of severe weather risks, including floods and extreme precipitation, severe convective storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Mitigate Economic Losses
El Niño causes huge losses, but La Niña doesn’t cause symmetric gains — track how greater volatility exacerbates losses, shocks, and uncertainties and build an informed response.
The Best El Niño Forecasts on the Planet
Umi™ not only outperforms the best existing ENSO forecasting models from leading prediction centers, like NOAA and ECMWF, but also breaks through the notorious spring predictability barrier. Umi™ is the only model to successfully capture the recent triple-dip La Niña (2020 - 2023) and Super El Niño (2023 - 2024) events.
