DTN Weather Hub vs. Perry Weather

How the platforms differ

Precise On-Site Weather Data

Perry Weather’s on-site weather station provides accurate weather conditions  readings for WBGT, wind speed, precipitation and more. DTN pulls data from distant public weather stations.

Simplify your communications

Perry Weather’s outdoor warning system pairs a siren with four strobe lights and a text-to-speech PA functionality. Pair it with mass notifications by SMS, email, or push, and one platform reaches you’re whole team.

Included meteorologist support

Get support from real meteorologists. Every plan includes access by phone, text, or email, so you can get a second opinion on any weather event. Other platforms sell this as an add-on. We include it.

Why choose Perry Weather over DTN Weather Hub

Real On-Site Weather Stations for Accurate Data

Weather Hub does not offer a physical weather station to track WBGT, meaning all heat stress measurements are simply estimated. Perry Weather’s black bulb sensor provides accurate, crucial on-site WBGT readings.

lightning alert

Faster, More Reliable Lightning Alerts

Perry Weather’s detects lightning continuously, sending alerts the moment they are registered. DTN refreshes lightning alerts every 15 seconds and relies on a slower detection network that takes ~30 seconds to process strikes.

Integrated Policy Compliance & Custom Alerts

With Perry Weather, you can automate alerts based on custom safety policies, while Weather Hub requires more manual input to manage compliance and notifications.

Dedicated 24/7 Support

The number one reason people cite for loving Perry Weather? Our customer service. We’re always here to help with real people offering chat, email, or phone support during normal business hours.

User-Friendly Dashboard & Multi-Location Monitoring

Perry Weather’s intuitive dashboard makes tracking multiple sites easy, while Weather Hub’s interface is more complex and requires additional effort to navigate efficiently.

Switching from DTN Weather Hub? Here’s Why You Should

We obviously think we’re pretty great, but here’s an honest comparison. To help you decide between Perry Weather and DTN Weather Hub, let’s dive into the details.

Up-to-date Weather Data

Perry Weather’s on-site weather stations update your dashboard with the latest weather data every 5 minutes, providing you with the most up-to-date weather information possible. DTN pulls data from public weather stations that may only update once an hour.

Trustworthy Weather Data & Alerts

Perry Weather and DTN Weather Hub both report on similar data, such as WBGT, lightning strikes, humidity, ambient temperature, wind speed, and more. However, Perry Weather pulls the data from on-site weather stations.

Perry Weather vs. DTN Weather Hub’s Interface

Perry Weather’s user-friendly interface is clean, simple, and makes weather monitoring a breeze.
