Frequently Asked Questions

What type of weather does Perry Weather monitor?
Perry Weather’s software and weather stations monitor real-time lightning strikes, live and forecasted heat stress measurements, live and future radar, wind speed, temperature, humidity, air quality index (AQI), wind chill, rainfall totals and more.
Our system also tracks and stores easily-downloadable historical weather data for your location.
Does Perry Weather support multi-jurisdictional or regional deployments?
Yes! Our platform can manage weather data and alerts across multiple jurisdictions or regions from a single, centralized dashboard, optimizing coordination and response times.
Why is Perry Weather better than free weather apps on my phone?
Free weather apps are great for everyday personal use, but extremely limited for use in schools, organizations, and businesses. You can’t build weather safety policies that notify your organization about what actions need to be taken in a weather safety situation. The data can be up to an hour old and coming from the nearest airport miles away, often painting a dramatically different picture than the true conditions on the field or at your location.
