At the heart of Timor-Leste’s agricultural landscape, where every decision counts, Tempu.tl brings weather forecasting to the people who need it most. It’s Timor-Leste’s first-ever online weather system, designed not just for experts, but for everyday people—from farmers in the fields to communities on the move.

Bringing the Weather to Your Fingertips

Weather information is power. For farmers, it can mean the difference between a bountiful harvest and crop failure. Tempu.tl makes weather data accessible in a way that’s easy to understand and tailored to the needs of Timor-Leste’s diverse communities. Using satellite data, Tempu.tl provides reliable, village-level forecasts in multiple languages, ensuring no one is left out of the conversation.

Simple Insights for Complex Decisions

For farmers, even the simplest weather forecast—like knowing when rain is coming—can unlock critical decisions about crop management. Whether it’s timing irrigation, protecting against pests, or planning harvests, this simple tool provides vital foresight to help ensure their livelihoods.

Connecting Communities, Bridging Gaps

But Tempu.tl is not just for farmers. It’s also for the broader community. In Timor-Leste, heavy rains can lead to road closures, making transportation difficult and affecting daily life.

Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall threaten vital crops like coffee, one of Timor-Leste’s primary exports. With a platform that’s accessible to all, from government offices to local farmers, Tempu.tl gives people the tools to adapt, plan, and respond to these challenges head-on.
