Severe weather monitoring and alerts

Xweather Protect, part of the Xweather Insight weather confidence platform , delivers an all-in-one solution for weather risk management, real-time storm monitoring, and alert automation for all your locations worldwide.

Add locations, alerts, and users

  • Add assets and locations as points, polylines, or polygons for complete coverage.

  • Create asset-specific severe weather alerts to meet or exceed industry standards for safety and compliance.

  • Add users and create user lists to get the right alerts to the right people at the right time.

  • Add more assets, alerts, and users as needed.

Real-time lightning alerts

Real-time alerts activate when lightning occurs near your asset. You can configure three levels of alerts (Information, Warning, and Alarm) and set a specific alert distance, clear time, and user list for each level. Active alerts and all-clear notifications are sent automatically by email and SMS message to your user lists. You can also trigger external devices connected to web relays such as flashing lights, sirens, and display screens.

Lightning forecast alerts

Xweather Protect offers the unique ability to forecast lightning risk up to 60 minutes in advance. A forecast alert activates when lightning is forecast to occur near your asset. You can choose how far ahead of the forecast to activate the alert in 10-minute intervals up to 60 minutes in advance.

Lightning forecast alerts are powered by Xcast, our enhanced forecasting technology that uses data from Vaisala sensors to significantly improve short-term accuracy.

Review recent storms

  • Jump to any point in the last 7-days to view lightning activity and alerts for post-event analysis and reporting.

  • See where storm cells developed and moved with an animated timeline of lightning, radar, and satellite infrared map layers.

  • Validate the timing of storms, strikes, and alerts against operational decisions and alerting criteria.

  • Evaluate safety procedures and operational impacts to identify opportunities to optimize alert distances and all-clear timing.
