Weather data your team can rely on
When it comes to heat safety, outdated data isn’t just unhelpful — it’s a liability. AEM on-site weather stations deliver WBGT readings updated as often as every minute, calculated from precision sensors measuring air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and solar radiation at your exact location. Not regional observations from miles away. Your conditions, right now.
And because AEM designs, develops, and manufactures its own weather stations, every component is built to deliver consistent, reliable data you can stake decisions on all summer long.
Act without thinking twice
WBGT monitoring is only useful if it tells your team what to do next. AEM delivers policy-aligned alerts the moment conditions cross a threshold. No manual readings. No guesswork about next steps. Just clear and timely guidance for the people who need it.
Alerts and dashboards are customized for different stakeholders and heat stress levels, giving every leader a real-time view of conditions across all their locations.
- Alerts via email, text, and mobile app, customized by role and flag level
- Color-coded dashboards aligned to your heat stress policy
- See all locations in one view, no clicking through individual sites
- Alert acknowledgment tracking so leaders know who has responded
- WBGT forecast option, so you can see what’s coming and adjust schedules before conditions become dangerous
Everything you need to stand behind every call you made
When heat stress incidents are reviewed by administrators, legal teams, or regulators, you need more than memory. Quickly access historical WBGT data, giving you a complete record of every reading, every threshold crossed, and every alert sent.
- Easily export historical WBGT data and view detailed graphs with alert thresholds
- Demonstrate compliance with state athletic association and OSHA requirements
- Defend decisions with an accurate, timestamped record of WBGT readings
Your weather risks don't stop when the temperature drops
Weather impacts your organization every day of the year, not just during heat season. Thunderstorms, flooding, wildfires, and winter weather all require the same thing: reliable data, timely alerts, and a team that knows what to do.
AEM is the only solution that puts WBGT monitoring alongside lightning detection, severe weather tracking, flood forecasts, and more in a single platform. One login, every hazard, all year long.
WBGT: What Is It and How Do You Calculate It?
Wet Bulb Globe Temperature is the gold standard for heat stress risk management, but it’s not always well understood. Our guide breaks down what WBGT is, how it’s calculated, and how organizations like yours are using it to protect people and make smarter decisions.
Heat stress monitoring is the process of measuring and tracking environmental conditions that contribute to heat-related illness, including temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation. For organizations responsible for people working or training outdoors, heat stress monitoring provides the data needed to make safe, defensible decisions about outdoor activities before conditions become dangerous.
Heat index only accounts for air temperature and humidity, and it is always measured in the shade. For anyone outdoors in direct sunlight, that misses a critical piece of the picture. We all know it feels hotter in the sun — and WBGT monitoring captures that reality by also accounting for solar radiation and wind, giving you a true measure of how heat is actually affecting the human body. For organizations making safety decisions about outdoor activities, that difference matters.
AEM on-site weather stations measure air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and solar radiation and use those inputs to calculate WBGT using a scientifically validated formula. Readings are updated as often as every minute, giving your team a current and accurate picture of conditions at your exact location.
WBGT alerting automatically notifies your team when wet bulb globe temperature crosses a threshold defined by your heat stress policy. AEM delivers those alerts via email, text, and mobile app, with messages customized for different stakeholders and flag levels, so everyone knows exactly what to do without having to check a dashboard manually.
On-site weather monitoring is the most accurate way to measure WBGT because conditions can vary significantly from one location to another. Regional forecast data or observations from miles away may not reflect what your athletes, workers, or visitors are actually experiencing. AEM on-site weather stations are designed and manufactured by AEM and calculate WBGT from precision sensors at your exact location.
Any organization responsible for people exerting themselves outdoors during warm weather should have a heat stress alerting solution in place. This includes K-12 school districts and universities managing athletic programs, parks and recreation departments, construction and outdoor worksite operators, airport ground operations teams, and club and sports venues. Many states now mandate WBGT-based policies for high school athletics, and OSHA continues to increase its focus on heat safety for outdoor workers.
