Outdoor Warning Systems (OWS):
These systems monitor a wide range of weather conditions, including lightning detection, wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), heat index, temperature, precipitation, humidity, evapotranspiration, wind speed and direction, and wind chill.
Weather Stations (WS):
This station tracks weather conditions such as temperature, wind, rainfall, and more, providing real-time data for better safety decision-making.
The Weather Station (WS) is connected to the Outdoor Warning System (OWS) to ensure consistent and accurate lightning detection across all park locations.
When lightning is detected within 10 miles of an OWS site, the system triggers audible and visual alerts. The alert remains active for 30 minutes from the most recent lightning strike, with a visible countdown timer showing when it is safe to resume outdoor activities.
The Perry Weather Widget is available via the following link so visitors can track the current conditions and countdown timer since the last lighting detection. https://widget.perryweather.com/?id=82e7b5ac-698f-43ff-80f1-d287266ae6ea
Emergency Management: The system also serves as an emergency tool, capable of broadcasting critical announcements during severe weather or emergencies.
Hours of Operation: During our sports seasons the general hours are Monday to Sunday from 7 am to 10 pm. Times may vary depending on seasonal play, tournaments, events and times of no/low activity.
Stay Weather Aware: The Perry Weather Outdoor Warning System helps ensure that everyone enjoys their outdoor activities safely. Always stay aware of the weather when visiting any of the T&C Sports’ fields.
