What's WBGT?

Wet bulb globe temperature

It's a measure of how people actually experience current conditions outside as they move and sweat. 

WBGT considers ambient air temperature, humidity, wind chill, and solar radiation to see past the limitations of a traditional thermometer.

It's much better than heat index

WBGT is great for athletics programs because it accounts for cooling factors like wind and sweat as well as warming factors.

That means it can tell you if it's actually too hot for outdoor activities or just an extra warm, beautiful day.

Whether you're in a state where there are heat stress regulations or just a school that wants to take every precaution to protect student-athletes and prevent liability, WBGT is the way to keep everyone safe.

Success story

School District of Palm Beach County

The School District of Palm Beach County is roughly the size of Rhode Island, with 180 schools spread out across the region. 

Compliance with the Zachary Martin Act of 2020 is crucial to the district, so we helped them build a site-based weather safety solution so they could keep students and athletes safe at each school without undue cancellations.

Our customers say...

Working with [AEM] has been wonderful. It has been an opportunity for our school to move forward with technology and really helps us guide our decision making for athletic events and practices. Joanne Dzama, Athletic Director, Morristown-Beard School
[AEM] enables us to give exact geographic severe weather warnings for our schools, right when it's happening, right where it's happening. Fred Cahill, Safety Technician, School District of Palm Beach County
We were able to add [weather alerts] to all our school, elementary through high schools. Elementary schools use it for PE, and they also use the weather alerts around dismissal times. At the high school, they use it for their sports and all their outdoor activities. Our police use it for their command center. Elizabeth Henry, Safety Technician, School District of Palm Beach County
