Weather Intelligence. Agricultural Precision.

Three pillars of intelligence

yvortex combines precision meteorology and agricultural science to deliver actionable intelligence across three critical domains.

How Abohawabid actually works.

Global weather data, a rule-based advisory engine reviewed by agronomists, and meteorologist-authored bulletins, delivered to phones in Bangladesh.

1. 01

   Global data, Bangladesh context

   Weather is pulled every 30 minutes from models run by renowned national services: NOAA GFS, ECMWF IFS, and regional meteorological agencies. We layer Bangladesh admin geography (8 divisions, 64 districts, 552 upazilas/thanas) so every user sees their own location.

2. 02

   Agronomist-reviewed advisories

   Advisories trigger on real weather conditions and reach you filtered to your occupation and crops, so you see what matters to your own fields, not a generic feed. Each one is reviewed by an agronomist.

3. 03

   Meteorologist-authored alerts

   Cyclone, flood, heat-wave, and cold-wave bulletins are written by named meteorologists through an internal admin panel, tagged by region and severity, and delivered as push notifications.

Open data. Bangladesh geography. Named meteorologists.

We don't pretend to run our own numerical weather model. We integrate the best open data, layer Bangladesh-specific context, and let human experts own the critical alerts.

• NOAA GFS
• ECMWF IFS
• Regional met agencies
• Bangladesh admin geography

Weather data comes from models run by renowned national services: NOAA GFS, ECMWF IFS, and regional meteorological agencies. We pre-load the full Bangladesh administrative hierarchy (8 divisions, 64 districts, 552 upazilas/thanas) so every user picks their actual village, not a distant city. Emergency bulletins are authored by named meteorologists.
