Why choose Perry Weather over DTN WeatherSentry
Real On-Site Weather Stations for Accurate Data
WeatherSentry 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.
Faster, More Reliable Alerts
Perry Weather’s automated alerts instantly notify users of severe weather threats, while WeatherSentry’s alerts can be delayed and require more manual oversight.
Integrated Policy Compliance & Custom Alerts
With Perry Weather, you can automate alerts based on custom safety policies, while WeatherSentry requires more manual input to manage compliance and notifications.

User-Friendly Dashboard & Multi-Location Monitoring
