Jim RoemerJim Roemer
Best Weather, Inc. (BWI) is a Commodity Trading Advisor registered with the CFTC. Owned by Jim Roemer, BWI’s mission is to make predictions of weather patterns months in advance. Because of Jim’s understanding weather’s impact on global commodity prices, crop yields, energy demand, etc., he has been advising hedge funds, farmers and commodity traders with respect to both short and longer-term weather impacts in the futures market for 35 years.
Mr. Roemer frequently shares his meteorological expertise as a guest on Bloomberg radio and TV and is often interviewed by Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal. In addition, he also provides weather fundamentals to thousands of subscribers on SeekingAlpha.com as a contributing newsletter writer. Mr. Roemer splits his time between Sarasota and Vermont as he lives an active lifestyle as a philanthropist, cyclist, and competitive tennis player, with a deep passion and concern about the environment and climate change.
His avid participation in skiing earned him the nickname “Doctor Weather” when he was featured in radio skiing condition reports for over 20 years.
Recently, he co-developed a highly sophisticated climate/weather model with Douglas Stewart (Ph.D. – Meteorology), Climate Predict, Inc. This program, in the form of an analytic tool, enables the user to make long-range weather forecasts. It uses teleconnections such as oceanic and atmospheric temperatures, along with other global phenomena. Coupled with Mr. Roemer’s three decades of forecast knowledge, Climate Predict forecasts weather events months in advance, the tool specifically identifies potential causal relationships to commodity crop yields.
