How Perry Weather Works
On-site weather monitoring, automated alerts, and expert guidance—all in one simple platform.
On-site stations capture real-time conditions
Unlike weather apps that rely on distant data, your dedicated Perry Weather station monitors conditions at your exact location.
Add custom weather policies to trigger alerts
Severe weather procedures automatically activate in Perry Weather when conditions reach your specified thresholds—no monitoring needed.
Know weather risks in advance
Perry Weather forecasts potential weather risks that could impact your day—so you can plan ahead with confidence before conditions disrupt your operations.
Get alerts when policies are triggered
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.
24/7 access to pro meteorologists, call or text
Weather is unpredictable, but our support isn’t. Our team of professional meteorologists is here 24/7 for help making difficult weather calls.

What’s the difference between Perry Weather and a free weather app?
Free weather apps are best for personal use, but extremely limited for use in schools, organizations and businesses.
With free apps, you can’t build weather safety policies that automatically notify your organizations about what action need to be taken in a weather safety situation, or plan ahead for outdoor activities. Additionally, the weather data from free apps are usually only updated hourly – not in real time – and is collected from the nearest airport, which is often miles away, so the information does not reflect local weather conditions. Perry Weather enables you to streamline your weather policies with real-time, hyper-local weather data.
Perry Weather also tracks additional metrics like lightning, wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), road conditions, air quality and wind conditions.

How does Perry Weather compare to other weather monitoring platforms?
We recognize that you have a choice in professional weather monitoring systems, and we are constantly gathering feedback to improve our platform to meet the varied needs of all our customers.
In fact, our customer service is one factor that keeps customers coming back – our account management and professional meteorology teams typically respond in less than 15 minutes!
Additionally, our platform gives a more accurate view of your local weather conditions. For example, we use an on-site black bulb to collect wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) readings instead of an algorithm – so you know the number you’re seeing in the dashboard is the real deal.
We also provide lightning detection notifications up to 2-3 minutes faster than other systems – precious time that enables you to take action faster.
Where can I read Perry Weather reviews?
We regularly survey customers to make sure we’re providing the absolute best customer service possible. That’s part of the reason why we’re currently rated 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot. You can read the individual reviews for more information.
Additionally, we spoke with customers to understand why they use Perry Weather and their favorite features. Explore our customer stories.
Do I need a professional weather station?
The Perry Weather system includes an on-site professional weather station and outdoor weather warning system.
The on-site weather station allows you to collect hyper-local weather conditions that are precise to your location, event, park or job site. Otherwise, your free weather apps are probably pulling data from the nearest airport – which can be miles away – or using an algorithm to estimate local conditions.
The outdoor warning system provides audio alerts like sirens and a custom text-to-speech PA system, and visual strobe lights to warn the general public of severe weather and provide clear instructions, even when your staff isn’t available.
Talk with our team to find out whether on-site hardware makes sense for your organization.

Contacting Perry Weather customer service is easy – we typically respond in less than 15 minutes!
If you are a current customer, you can contact the professional meteorology team 24/7 via phone, email or from your Perry Weather web dashboard or mobile app.
What is the best weather monitoring software?
Here at Perry Weather, we strive to be the most trusted and widely used weather technology to streamline operations and protect lives.
Of course we’re biased, so don’t just take our word for it – our customers rate us a 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, and give us a net promoter score (NPS) of 82 (that’s in the “Excellent” category!)
