WBGT forecasting and heat planning

Know when heat changes the plan.

Klimo WBGT helps you see current heat stress, understand how conditions will change, and choose better times for outdoor activity.

Use saved sites or Current Location, with global near-term forecast context where available. Forecast WBGT supports planning and does not remove the need for onsite judgment.

Current WBGT and heat context for the location you are checking.

See what's coming

Hourly and daily forecasts show how heat stress may change.

Find a better time

Compare activity windows before heat risk peaks.

Now, next, and better timing.

The core workflow is simple: understand current heat stress, see where it is headed, and decide whether a better activity window exists.

Current conditions

Understand what is happening now.

The Now screen brings current WBGT, weather context, heat guidance, and site actions into one place so the first decision is fast.

WBGT, heat impact, weather context, and guidance are visible together.
Users still apply their own local rules, policy, and onsite judgment.

Forecast timing

See when heat stress changes.

Forecast views show how WBGT may rise, peak, and ease over time. That timing is often more useful than a single number.

Hourly forecasts make near-term changes visible.
Air temperature and WBGT stay visible together for context.
How to use a WBGT forecast

Find a better time

Use the forecast to change the plan.

Activity Planner turns forecast timing into a practical choice: select a duration, timeframe, and risk filters, then compare possible windows. The feature is exploratory and shown in test-mode in the app.

Compare windows instead of reacting to one forecast value.
Filter around heat flag level, rain chance, and lightning probability.

Saved sites and local context

Keep the places that matter ready.

Save fields, jobsites, campuses, farms, venues, and other recurring locations so users can return to the same operational heat-safety view.

The weather may be the same. The place isn't. Surface, sun, shade, blocked airflow, nearby buildings, terrain, and moisture can change heat exposure over short distances.

Surface and site settings add useful context. They do not make a forecast perfect or replace direct measurement where a rule, policy, or standard requires it.

Alerts and storm context

Heat isn't the only thing that can stop the day.

When weather adds risk, Klimo keeps key context close to the heat decision: lightning alerts, configurable alert radius, all-clear timing, strike-map context, NWS alerts, and site-centered radar.

Lightning settings can be adjusted for the site.
Strike and radar views support the same operational location.

More ways to use Klimo.

These tools support the core heat workflow without becoming the main story.

Individual context

Personal Heat Profile adds user-provided context to heat guidance without making a medical diagnosis.

Monitoring and records

SmartTrack, readings, and history help document conditions when follow-up matters.

Animal heat screens

Separate views support heat screening for dogs, horses, cattle, and poultry.

Current Location

Global context where available.

Current Location can use global near-term forecast data for places outside the primary live nowcast footprint. Data sources and coverage can vary by location, so it should be used as planning context rather than a guarantee of identical precision everywhere.

Science, policy, and judgment

Built around the science of heat exposure.

Klimo Insights develops heat-health decision-support tools with expertise in climatology, WBGT, extreme heat, and software product development.

Klimo supports decisions. It does not replace applicable policies, direct onsite measurement where required, medical guidance, emergency procedures, or trained onsite judgment.
