The sale includes The Weather Company’s consumer-focused assets such as Weather.com and Storm Radar, as well as enterprise offerings for industries including media and aviation

The Big Blue said Tuesday it plans to continue using The Weather Company’s weather data for its software offerings focused on environmental insights.
