Forecasting

What is a WBGT forecast?

A WBGT forecast estimates future wet bulb globe temperature conditions so that people can plan before heat becomes dangerous. That is different from simply reading the current value at one moment. Forecasts matter because operational decisions often have to happen hours ahead of time.

Why forecasted heat stress matters

Many heat-related decisions are made before the environment peaks. Athletic practices are scheduled before they begin. Crews are staffed before they arrive on site. Schools, tournaments, and events commit to schedules in advance. A useful WBGT forecast gives leaders a planning window, not just a current snapshot.

What a forecast app should help answer

A practical WBGT app should help users answer questions like: how hot will it likely feel at a specific site, when will conditions worsen or improve, and how different are sun versus shade conditions likely to be? The goal is not just a number. The goal is a decision-support workflow.

How Klimo WBGT fits

Klimo WBGT is built around that planning problem. It combines current conditions, forecast views, and site-based context to help users evaluate heat risk across time. It is best understood as a decision-support app, not a replacement for your own policies or a promise that a single threshold solves every situation.
