Perry Weather’s on-site station tracks WBGT at your campus continuously, logs every reading automatically, and alerts coaches and athletic trainers the moment conditions hit your state association’s thresholds.
Perry Weather’s station monitors WBGT for you, 24/7, with readings logged automatically and no one walking out to a handheld.
Perry Weather is a two-part system; both the Weather Station & Software Platform work together to accurately monitor, record and alert your team of heat risks.
Never worry about manual heat monitoring ever again. Perry Weather watches the heat for your entire team and alerts them the moment they need to know.
Perry Weather sends alerts to everyone the moment the heat rises to an unsafe level.
Perry Weather stations take precise WBGT and heat index readings right from where your team is located, rather than using public weather data.
Perry Weather automatically monitors the heat and records readings every 15 minutes, so you can ensure you’re in compliance without the hassle.
Perry Weather predicts when your heat policies are likely to be broken so you can plan your day ahead of time.
Perry Weather makes complying with heat safety guidelines effortless. The system monitors, records and sends alerts to the correct people when it matters most.
Get precise on-site weather data from WBGT, lightning, and more, ensuring accurate real-time compliance with safety guidelines without handheld devices or manual monitoring.
Perry Weather forecasts weather risks that could impact practice and game schedules, helping you plan ahead before conditions disrupt play.
The moment your weather policy thresholds are met, Perry Weather delivers real-time notifications to the right people, keeping your team ahead of the weather.
View and export weather data from your campuses, including WBGT, lightning delay duration, wind speed and direction, precipitation and more.
Have questions about WBGT and heat stress? Check out some of our frequently asked questions.
A handheld depends on someone remembering to walk out, take a reading every 30 minutes, write it down, and file it at every practice, at every site, all season.
For programs required to monitor WBGT at every practice, an automatic on-site sensor eliminates the compliance risk that comes with manual methods. Perry Weather logs and timestamps every reading for you, so documentation is built in rather than dependent on a clipboard.
Yes. Instead of waiting on a manual reading, Perry Weather pushes a real-time alert the moment your site crosses into the next WBGT zone, so your team can modify activites, start work-to-rest breaks, or move to the cooling zone right away. That removes the lag between “conditions changed” and “we found out.”
Wet bulb globe temperature measures heat stress in direct sunlight, giving a better idea of how the human body will react in hot and humid weather.
WBGT readings, unlike regular temperature readings, combine the effects of:
– Ambient Temperature
– Wind Speed
– Relative Humidity
– Solar Radiation
Heat stress happens when the body takes on more heat than it can shed, leading to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.
It is driven by more than air temperature: humidity, direct sun, workload, and PPE all raise the risk.
This is why OSHA treats it as a workplace hazard and a large portion high school activity associations enforce WBGT monitoring policies.
Perry Weather helps you stay ahead of it with on-site monitoring and automated alerts tied to your heat policy.
A WBGT monitor combines three readings into one value: dry bulb (air temperature), natural wet bulb (temperature, humidity, and wind), and globe temperature (radiant heat from the sun).
Handheld meters require manual readings, and weather apps estimate from stations miles away, often missing by several degrees. Perry Weather’s permanently mounted station measures WBGT continuously with a full sized weather station and black globe sensor.
Unlike WBGT, heat index is a measurement that only takes into account air temperature and humidity. Think of it as the “feels-like” temperature in a shaded area. Heat Index is measured in the shade rather than the sun, and doesn’t factor in cloud cover (solar radiation), wind, or sun angle.
For situations where precision and heat safety are required, like in outdoor sports practice or outdoor events, WBGT is preferred. Learn more about heat index vs WBGT
Measure on site, in the sun where crews actually work, and log readings continuously, since off-site estimates can understate WBGT by several degrees. OSHA’s proposed heat rule favors on-site WBGT monitoring for exactly this reason.
Perry Weather automates it all: direct WBGT measurement, automatic logging every 15 minutes, and alerts based on your heat policy.
