1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving satellite weather data for a macro-location, the macro-location including a first micro-location and a second micro-location, the satellite weather data including a forecast for the macro-location, the forecast for the macro-location being the same for the first micro-location and the second micro-location;
receiving mobile-sensor data from mobile devices associated with users, the mobile-sensor data sensed by the mobile devices at the first micro-location included within the macro-location; and
forecasting, based on the mobile-sensor data received from the mobile devices of the users located within the first micro-location and the forecast for the macro location included in the satellite weather data, a future micro-climate for the first micro-location and a future micro-climate for the second micro-location, the forecasting predicting the future micro-climate of the second micro-location differently than the future micro-climate of the first micro-location and differently than the forecast for the macro-location.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method including: receiving satellite weather data for a macro-location that includes a first micro-location; receiving mobile-sensor data from mobile devices associated with users, the mobile-sensor data sensed by the mobile devices at the first micro-location or a second micro-location included within the macro-location; and forecasting, based on the mobile-sensor data and the satellite weather data, a future micro-climate for the first or the second micro-location.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
determining, by correlating particular types of satellite images with rain, a weather-forecasting model, the weather forecasting model based on; historic weather-related satellite images for a macro-location; and historic mobile-sensor data sensed by mobile devices within the macro-location, the historic mobile-sensor data including at least some data received from a micro-location within the macro-location and at least some of the data including indications of rain; and forecasting, based on current weather-related satellite images for the macro-location and the weather-forecasting model, weather conditions for the macro-location, the micro-location within the macro-location, and at least one other micro-location within the macro-location, the forecasting predicting micro-conditions differently at the micro-location than other micro-conditions at the other micro-location within the macro-location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and one or more memory devices that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, perform instructions comprising; determining a weather-forecasting model; the weather-forecasting model based on; historic weather-related satellite images for a macro-location, the historic weather-related satellite images including top-down cloud images; and historic mobile-sensor data sensed by mobile devices within the macro-location, the historic mobile-sensor data including indications of rain or bottom-up cloud images; and
the weather forecasting model determined by;correlating particular types of satellite images with the indications of rain; and determining weather patterning for the top-down cloud images based on the bottom-up cloud images; and forecasting, based on current weather-related satellite images for the macro-location and the weather-forecasting model, weather conditions for the macro-location. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
