Why Christian County Schools Relies on Perry Weather

“Without accurate, up-to-date information that we’re getting on a daily basis, hourly basis, minute-by-minute basis sometimes, it’d be hard to run a school system. We’re very fortunate to have access to a great system like Perry Weather to help us move this district forward and continue operations.”

Automate Your Heat Stress Policy Management. No Handhelds Required.

Heat Stress Policy Based Alerts

Heat Stress Policy Based Alerts

Integrate with NMAA heat stress policies to guide coaches and staff to take the right actions

  • Automated alerts: Notifications and texts with instructions when NMAA policy WBGT limits are breached

  • Custom quiet times: Silence alerts on weekends or nights for undisturbed off-hours

  • Configurable settings: Tailor user preferences and alert parameters to your organization’s requirements

no handheld wbgt device required

On-site WBGT Monitoring

Stationary 3.5in WBGT monitor for accurate readings, eliminating handheld device errors

  • 3.5in ISO-standard black bulb: Larger bulbs provide more accurate readings, so you’re always using the best information

  • Historical Data Log: Get historical WBGT data for any period, with easy-to-export reports, automatically recorded by Perry Weather

  • Set and Forget: No need to calibrate and remember to bring your handheld WBGT devices

Why Handheld Kestrel Devices Don’t Cut It

  • Kestrel handheld WBGT devices have a bias for higher readings

    Multiple independent studies have shown that Kestrel devices tend to provide readings that are higher than the actual WBGT. This becomes more pronounced as the WBGT values increase, resulting in activities being altered unnecessarily.

  • They can’t tell you what actions to take or warn coaches + training staff

    Kestrel devices are simply a measurement device. They aren’t integrated with your heat stress policies, and they can’t tell trainers and staff what to do next. Perry Weather automatically alerts all coaches and staff what to do next via text + mobile notifications.

  • They require maintenance and calibration

    Kestrel devices require manual calibration for up to 30 minutes before use, leaving you with yet another thing to worry about before practice. Eliminate human error and calibration issues and automate WBGT monitoring with Perry Weather.
