Weather Derivatives (since 1997)

When to use what?

Weather Measure “HDD and CDD” They are the number of degree by which the average temperature is below or above a base temperature 

Daily HDD = max(0, daily avg. temp – base temp)



Daily CDD = max(0, base temp - daily avg. temp)

Types of Weather Derivatives 

Swaps: Payoff = [Min {P($/DD)*Max(ST-X,0), h}][Min {P($/DD)*Max(X-ST,0), h}]



Collars: Payoff =

[Min {P($/DD)*Max(ST-K1,0),

h}][Min {P($/DD)*Max(K2-ST,0), h}] 

Puts (floors): Payoff = P($/DD)*Max(X-ST,0)



Calls (caps): Payoff = P($/DD)*Max(ST-X,0)

Applications: ICE CREAM

Example 

Problem:

The municipality of Fort Wayne, IN has spent $3,000,000 to provide for snow removal for the upcoming winter. This money will fund the equipment and labor to remove 12 inches of snow. Because of overtime rules, the municipality estimates that every additional1/2 inch of snow leads to an additional $250,000 of snow removal costs.
