Hazard Scores
A first look at hazard exposure anywhere in the world.
Enter an address, city, or coordinates to instantly screen for flood, heat, wind, wildfire, drought, and more.
Turning Climate Information into Infrastructure Decisions
Climate information is only useful when it helps answer a real question. Degree Day provides the expertise, datasets, and decision-support tools needed to apply climate information appropriately.
Global Flood Modeling
Custom riverine, coastal, and pluvial flood modeling for sites, corridors, watersheds, and coastlines. Defensible results without a months-long engineering study.
What you get
- Riverine, coastal, and pluvial flood hazard
- Present-day and future climate scenarios
- Flood depth maps, extent, and asset-level exposure
- Comparisons against public or commercial flood maps
Specialist Climate Support for Project Teams
Embedded climate expertise for engineering firms and consultancies that need senior technical support without adding full‑time headcount.
What you get
- White-label or named climate subconsulting
- Proposal and RFP methodology support
- Technical review of climate assumptions and vendor outputs
- Custom climate analysis for client deliverables
- Expert support for reports, presentations, and client questions
Climate Design Criteria for Infrastructure
Site-specific rainfall, heat, and wind values for infrastructure that must perform under future climate conditions.
What you get
- Future-facing climate projections tailored to your project
- Design‑ready rainfall, heat, and wind values
- Clear documentation of data sources, assumptions, methods, and uncertainty
Design for the Climate Ahead
Prioritize Climate Risk Across Sites and Portfolios
Transparent climate and natural-hazard screening to identify exposed assets, compare hazard drivers, and decide where deeper review is needed.
What you get
- Asset-level exposure screening across major hazards
- Transparent data sources, assumptions, and limitations
- Prioritization for due diligence, disclosure, resilience planning, or site-specific analysis

Four Climate Data Myths in ESG Reporting
Climate analytics promise property-level views of future physical risk, but model output, downscaled data, hazard indicators, and risk scores are built through layers of assumptions. We unpack four common myths about climate data in ESG reporting and what decision-makers should ask before relying on it.

Regional Climate Models Add Physics. Degree Day Makes Them Usable for Design.
Regional climate models add physically based detail that statistical downscaling cannot, but raw output still needs careful evaluation and calibration before it can support design. Here is how the two approaches differ, and how Degree Day turns the CORDEX archive into analysis-ready climate data for infrastructure decisions.
