alt=|A Perry Weather, WBGT, weather station. The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a type of apparent temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, wind speed (wind chill), and visible and infrared radiation (usually sunlight) on humans. It is used by industrial hygienists, athletes, sporting events and the military to determine appropriate exposure levels to high temperatures. It is derived from the following formula: In hot areas, someArmy Technical Bulletin Medical 507 and Air Force Pamphlet 48-152(I) 7 March 2003 US military installations display a flag to indicate the heat category based on the WBGT. The military publishes guidelines for water intake and physical activity level for acclimated and unacclimated individuals in different uniforms based on the heat category. The University of Georgia adapted these categories for use in college sports as a guideline for how strenuous practices can URL Athletic organizations, industrial plants, and even the military rely on live WBGT readings for industry compliance. Utilizing an on-site weather station with a WBGT sensor such as, Perry Weather's WBGT Station, is vital for monitoring heat stress. The " WBGT " temperature readings are offered by Perry Weather , a commercial weather forecasting company,  since American weather observation systems do not measure solar radiation directly)  .
