Perry Weather is a B2B weather safety and operations platform. It combines professional-grade, on-site weather hardware (like WBGT and black bulb sensors) with a proprietary software platform and 24/7 human meteorologist support.
Perry Weather was founded in 2013 by Colin Perry, who recognized that most commercial weather-safety systems were outdated and failed to meet real-world on-site needs. He set out to build a modern platform combining weather safety software with on-site hardware.
The platform helps organizations monitor hazardous weather conditions, automate their specific safety policies, and maintain a detailed historical record for compliance and liability protection.
Over 12 years, Perry Weather has become the trusted weather-safety platform for 5,000+ organizations, including schools, cities, golf clubs, and industrial firms. We’ve delivered over 50 million real-time alerts—lightning, heat stress, and air quality—to protect crews, athletes, and communities.
