Hecto Innovation Launches Real-Time Weather Service for Baseball Stadiums

Hecto Innovation, an IT information service company, announced on March 27 that it has directly installed meteorological observation devices near nine baseball stadiums in Korea and is offering ultra-precise, real-time weather services updated every five minutes through its platform, WeatherDol.

While conventional weather information typically covers areas at the administrative district level, WeatherDol delivers on-site weather details essential for baseball fans' in-person experiences—such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation, and UV index—every five minutes, ensuring the highest level of ultra-precise, real-time accuracy at stadium locations.

WeatherDol's existing daily life management features also assist baseball fans in preparing for in-person attendance. The "Weather Closet" feature suggests suitable outfit combinations to wear under uniforms based on the real-time perceived temperature. The "D-Day Weather Calendar" continuously provides updates on weather changes for the selected baseball stadium on game day.

To commemorate the launch of its real-time weather service, WeatherDol is also hosting a ticket giveaway event. Users who participate in weather and baseball-related quizzes within the WeatherDol application (app) will receive entries, which they can use to apply for tickets to baseball games on their chosen dates.

Lee Hyuncheol, CEO of Hecto Innovation, stated, "As a weather app created by a die-hard baseball fan, we aim to provide the information baseball fans need most, helping them decide on in-person attendance and enhancing their enjoyment. Starting with real-time weather services for baseball stadiums, we plan to expand our ultra-precise weather ecosystem to theme parks, tourist attractions, and more."
