Frequently asked questions

What is a ClimoraLens Brief?

A ClimoraLens Brief is a personalized, multi-page climate guide that helps you understand what a place is typically like throughout the year—and what that means in practical terms.

What is Climora?

Climora is ShantiOni's platform for helping people understand the world through a climate lens. ClimoraLens is its first flagship product, designed to make climate knowledge practical for everyday life.

Why is it called a "Brief"?

A brief is a concise document that summarizes essential information needed to make informed decisions. The term is commonly used in military, government, and professional settings to quickly communicate what matters most.

How is this different from my weather app?

Your weather app helps you prepare for the weather. ClimoraLens helps you prepare for the place.

A weather forecast tells you what's happening over the next few days. A ClimoraLens Brief helps you understand the climate, seasons, landscape, and conditions that shape your experience before you arrive.

Is this a weather forecast?

No. Forecasts predict a specific day. ClimoraLens explains the long-term climate of a place—the patterns that hold true across years, not just the coming week.

How far in advance can I get a Brief?

Because ClimoraLens is built on long-term climate patterns rather than short-range predictions, you can request a Brief for a trip, move, or assignment months—or years—ahead of time.

How is this different from a travel guide?

Travel guides cover a place broadly. ClimoraLens focuses specifically on climate and what it means practically for you—what to pack, when to go, and what to prepare for.

Can I get a Brief for where I already live?

Absolutely.

Many people use ClimoraLens to discover why their hometown looks, feels, and functions the way it does. It's a chance to better understand a place you've known for years through a completely new lens.

What places are supported?

ClimoraLens is designed to support destinations worldwide, with an initial focus on the Global South. If your destination isn't supported yet, we'll let you know when you request your ClimoraLens Brief.

The better we understand our planet, the better prepared we are to live on it.
