Why Switch to Perry Weather from Flash Weather AI?
Real Lightning Detection, Not AI Predictions
Flash Weather AI forecasts possible lightning using predictive models. Perry Weather uses the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) to detect actual strikes in real time, so you know the moment lightning is nearby, not just when it might be.
Faster, More Reliable Alerts
Perry Weather provides instant, automated lightning alerts with a 30-minute countdown, so everyone knows when it’s safe to resume activities.
Policy-Based Alerts Aligned with Your Plan
Flash AI sends generalized alerts—but not based on your rules. Perry Weather enforces your organization’s exact weather policy with automated heat and lightning alerts. No guesswork. Just compliance made simple.
Dedicated 24/7 Meteorologist Support
When conditions escalate, AI won’t answer your call. Perry Weather gives you direct access to certified meteorologists—real experts who guide you through critical decisions any time, day or night.
User-Friendly Dashboard & Multi-Location Monitoring
Perry Weather’s user-friendly dashboard makes it easy to track multiple locations at once. Unlike Flash Weather AI, you get clear, detailed updates for every site—all in one simple place.
Where Flash Weather AI Falls Short
When safety is on the line, predictions aren’t enough. Flash Weather AI’s predictive forecasting model is prone to false alarms and inaccuracies. That’s why it falls short where it matters most:
Predictive Guesswork, Not Protective
Flash Weather AI guesses when lightning might strike. But in high-stakes environments, guesses don’t cut it.
Perry Weather uses real-time lightning detection backed by the NLDN—trusted by NASA and the U.S. military—so you get alerts the moment lightning actually strikes.
No Policy-Based Custom Alerts
Flash Weather AI delivers generic warnings. It doesn’t know your heat policy or lightning protocol.
Perry Weather automates alerts based on your exact rules—keeping your staff in sync and your decisions defensible.
No Historical Logs, No Accountability
If there’s no record, there’s no proof. Flash Weather AI doesn’t store site-level data, leaving you with no paper trail.
Perry Weather automatically logs every WBGT event, giving you instant access to reports for audits, board reviews, or legal protection.
No Access to Real Meteorologists
When severe weather strikes, Flash AI can’t talk you through it.
When weather escalates, Perry Weather gives you 24/7 access to certified meteorologists—real people ready to help you make the right call under pressure.
No On-Site Heat Tracking
Flash Weather AI doesn’t use on-site hardware. That means no WBGT readings and no work/rest guidance tailored to your team.
Perry Weather tracks real WBGT and calculates rest cycles using workload and PPE—actionable heat safety, not estimates.
No Customizable Live Widgets
Flash Weather AI can’t be tailored to your team.
Perry Weather lets you create custom weather widgets for dashboards, TVs, or public displays—making it easy to communicate critical conditions at a glance across every site or facility.

Perry Weather vs Flash Weather AI FAQs
How is Perry Weather better than Flash Weather AI?
Flash Weather AI predicts lightning. Perry Weather detects it—down to the second—using the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN). We also offer on-site heat tracking, automated alerts based on your exact safety policy, and 24/7 access to real meteorologists. Flash Weather AI doesn’t.
Can’t I just use the NOAA free weather app for reliable weather alerts?
The NOAA weather app provides general weather updates but isn’t designed for precise on-site safety monitoring. Perry Weather uses hyper-local data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN), ensuring lightning alerts are accurate down to seconds and meters, rather than broad, delayed NOAA alerts.
What’s the difference between lightning detection and lightning prediction?
Lightning prediction tries to guess where strikes might happen. It’s prone to false alarms. Perry Weather uses real-time detection from NLDN, the same network trusted by NASA and the U.S. military, to alert you the moment lightning is nearby.
Can Flash Weather AI track WBGT or heat stress?
No. Flash Weather AI doesn’t use on-site weather stations and can’t measure WBGT. Perry Weather tracks WBGT in real time using on-site black globe sensors, and automates alerts based on workload, PPE, and your safety policies.
Is Perry Weather easier to use across multiple sites?
Yes. Our centralized dashboard lets you track multiple sites, review historical logs, and manage alerts—all in one place. Flash Weather AI supports multi-site forecasting, but lacks on-site data, detailed logs, and customizable widgets to streamline decisions.
How does Perry Weather’s weather software help with compliance and safety policy management compared to free apps?
Perry Weather software automates your compliance with safety policies by sending instant, custom alerts whenever weather conditions approach critical thresholds. Free weather apps lack automated policy compliance features, requiring manual monitoring that can be inefficient, risky, and time-consuming.
