Learn more about lightning detection and how Perry Weather’s advanced lightning detection system works.
How does Perry Weather’s system notify us of lightning strikes?
Perry Weather’s system allows you to set up fully customizable alerts to receive immediate mobile notifications and text messages with automated instructions when lightning is detected.
Our outdoor warning systems also include fully customizable alerts. Choose how long and how often the sirens sound when lightning is detected, and when the all clear is ready.
How do we know when it’s safe to resume play after lightning?
Our web and mobile app dashboard includes customizable lightning countdown timers, based on your organization’s policies, that initiate after a lightning strike is detected, until you’re given the all-clear to resume outdoor activities.
How far away can Perry Weather detect lightning strikes?
We detect lightning strikes immediately all over the country. We can set your customizable alerts in any range of mileage from your location, based on your lightning policies. For example, you can receive alerts from any lightning strikes within five miles of your location, or alerts for any lightning strikes within 50 miles of your location.
Do Perry Weather’s sirens sound throughout the lightning delay?
You can fully customize both the number of times the sirens go off automatically when a lightning strike hits, and the duration of the sound. The same can be done for the all-clear notification when the lightning is gone.
Additionally, sirens can be operated manually right from your phone. Our sirens also have text-to-speech ability, so you can type a public announcement message on your phone to be broadcast over the siren.
How do we determine our lightning policy zones?
Our team will help you every step of the way. Our expert consultations ensure that you’re not just getting a generic policy, but one that’s tailor-made to fit your unique needs. These consultations, backed by our team of meteorologists, guarantee a policy that’s both comprehensive and actionable.
Does Perry Weather forecast for lightning?
Our accurate daily forecasts show you potential weather for the day and week ahead. High chance of a lightning delay between 5-6 PM? Our dashboard will show you the level of risk for lightning strikes at any point that day to help you stay well-prepared.
