What Perry Weather does

Perry Weather, Inc. is a Dallas-based weather safety and operations platform that pairs proprietary on-site hardware with a SaaS dashboard and mobile application. The company deploys commercial-grade weather stations equipped with a 3.5-inch black globe thermometer for precise WBGT heat-stress measurement, integrates real-time lightning detection via the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN), and layers in air quality, wind, and precipitation sensing. Data is pushed to a web dashboard and mobile app every five minutes and drives policy-based automated alerts, 30-minute lightning countdown timers, multi-site oversight, and historical audit-trail reporting.

The business operates on a hybrid SaaS-plus-hardware subscription model. Subscriptions are annual, with hardware either retained by Perry Weather (subscription model, fully maintained) or purchased by the customer (one-year warranty). Pricing is subject to annual adjustments capped at the greater of CPI or 5%. A 24/7 on-call meteorologist service is bundled in. A two-week free trial supports a self-serve funnel, while dedicated account managers handle larger enterprise deployments. The company is SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 certified.

Perry Weather serves more than 1,500 organizations across US education (high schools, districts, collegiate athletics), commercial construction, parks and recreation, manufacturing, golf and resorts, energy, and government. Named customers include Holder Construction, Amazon Air, Leeward Renewable Energy, Loyola High School, Prince William County Public Schools, Huntley Park District, and the City of Virginia Beach. The company has secured ~$21.25M in venture funding across a 2022 Series A and an October 2024 $15M Series B led by Arthur Ventures, and has cultivated flagship partnerships with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the Korey Stringer Institute (KSI) — including a co-developed Heat Lab at the University of North Florida that opened in spring 2026.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• Korey Stringer Institute (KSI)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 18 May 2026Perry Weather Heat Lab opened at the University of North Florida as KSI's first satellite location. The state-of-the-art research facility studies exertional heat illness, occupational heat safety, and wearable device validation. KSI has influenced more than 460 environmental safety standards and revised protocols at over 300 high schools since 2010.
• EyruscoreTechnology or Integration · 23 January 2026Perry Weather and Eyrus partnered to integrate Perry Weather's on-site weather monitoring and alerting platform with Eyrus's worksite intelligence platform for construction sites. The integration automates weather safety communication by using on-site sensors to instantly alert workers when threats like lightning or dangerous heat conditions are detected, replacing manual communication methods. The system also creates automated audit trails of alerts and 'All Clear' messages to protect general contractors against liability and disputes regarding weather delays.
• Korey Stringer Institute (KSI)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 30 October 2025Perry Weather is collaborating with the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of North Florida to establish a new Heat Lab on UNF's campus, expected to open in spring 2026. Perry Weather will contribute monitoring instruments, software, and ongoing support for the facility. This is the first satellite location of KSI, extending their research into Florida and the Southeast where heat conditions are among the most extreme in the country.
• NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 29 October 2025Perry Weather and NFHS announced a strategic partnership to champion student-athlete heat safety by using Perry Weather's weather-safety platform to manage heat-related risks in high schools across the US. Perry Weather will support safety protocols and research, leveraging its monitoring and alert technology, with existing collaborations in several states. This alliance aims to expand weather safety compliance nationwide.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Earth Networks: Operates its own lightning detection network (ENcast/ENTLN) and Sferic Maps weather monitoring platform serving schools, sports, golf, and outdoor operations — directly overlapping Perry Weather's NLDN-backed lightning and weather safety offering.
• Thor Guard: Specializes in lightning prediction and detection systems for golf courses, schools, parks, and athletic facilities — directly competitive with Perry Weather's lightning detection and countdown timer feature set in the same verticals.

Broad incumbents

• DTN (WeatherSentry): Operates WeatherSentry, a commercial weather decision-support platform serving agriculture, construction, energy, and sports with hyperlocal forecasting, lightning alerts, and WBGT monitoring — overlapping Perry Weather's core use cases as part of a much broader weather intelligence portfolio.
• StormGeo: Global weather intelligence provider offering hyperlocal forecasting, severe weather alerts, and operational decision support across energy, shipping, and outdoor industries — a broader incumbent with overlapping construction and outdoor operations use cases.
• Vaisala: Global industrial and environmental measurement company producing weather observation instruments, lightning detection (GLD360), and WBGT sensors used in safety-critical applications — a broader incumbent whose components compete with Perry Weather's on-site weather stations.
• AccuWeather: Major commercial weather data and forecasting provider serving enterprise, media, and government with broader forecasting reach — competes for budget in similar customer accounts and provides a free or low-cost alternative for less mission-critical use cases.

Emerging players

• Kestrel Heat Stress: Sells handheld WBGT/heat stress meters widely used by athletic trainers, military, and industrial safety teams — a partial competitor that Perry Weather explicitly benchmarks against in its own 1-inch vs. 3.5-inch black globe comparison.
• Davis Instruments: Manufactures consumer and prosumer weather stations with temperature, humidity, wind, and rain sensors — an emerging/adjacent competitor at the lower end of the market that hobbyists and small facilities may adopt before scaling to Perry Weather.
• Campbell Scientific: Builds research-grade weather stations and environmental sensors for scientific, agricultural, and industrial monitoring — comparable in instrumentation but lacking Perry Weather's policy-based alerting and 24/7 meteorologist service layer.

Others

• Sensoterra: IoT soil moisture and environmental sensor provider serving agriculture, landscaping, and smart-city applications — adjacent rather than direct, but illustrates the broader IoT environmental monitoring category in which Perry Weather's on-site stations participate.
