Sourcing alternative data for forecasting

Hi monkeys

Has someone a nice overview of alternative data (sources) to use for certain industries? Trying to think of ways to model/forecast by using an “out-of-box” approach.

For instance for retailers: one can look at foot traffic, weather forecasts (warm weather brings more people to shop), for consumer brands: one can use google trend search, for aerospace one can use flightradar24, etc; you get the idea.

Does anyone have a nice overview?

Many thanks!
