What if the temperature data guiding critical business and city decisions isn’t nearly precise enough?

In this episode of Climate Hive: “What Do You Solve?*, we speak with Jay Sadiq, founder and CEO of FortyGuard, about why hyperlocal temperature intelligence will become increasingly important as the climate changes and extreme heat reshapes our cities, infrastructure, energy systems, and daily lives.

Jay explains the crucial difference between temperature data and traditional weather data—and why conditions can vary dramatically from one neighborhood, street, or building to the next. FortyGuard’s AI-powered technology transforms data from satellites, sensors, weather stations, and other sources into highly localized temperature insights that organizations can use to make smarter decisions.

We discuss:

• Why accurate temperature data is becoming critical climate infrastructure

• The business case for FortyGuard

• How FortyGuard’s temperature intelligence technology works

• Why hyperlocal data can reveal what traditional weather forecasts miss

• How heat affects energy, infrastructure, logistics, public health, and urban planning

• How Jay’s experience as a four-time founder led him to the temperature problem

• Why FortyGuard evolved from developing cooling materials into a data-driven technology company

• How the company is already engaging cities, businesses, developers, and other market stakeholders

As rising temperatures create new risks and costs, FortyGuard is working to turn heat from an invisible problem into actionable intelligence.
