Overview

Where does your weather data come from? In a disputed claim, that question can be pivotal.

Insurers and loss adjusters are under more pressure than ever. AI-generated images, fabricated damage photos and a flood of unverified social media reports are making it increasingly difficult to establish what actually happened - and defensible weather data has become critical.

In this session, Weatherwatch Managing Director Anthony Cornelius will draw on his more than 25 years' experience as a severe weather meteorologist and recent Australian case work to show where weather evidence commonly goes wrong in the claims process, what defensible evidence actually looks like in 2026, and how getting the facts right the first time keeps files from escalating.

Learn about the fieldwork, challenges and science behind creating accurate, reliable weather data. The session includes anonymised case studies from real insurance and infrastructure matters.
