Description
MetraWeather uses the data derived from GPATS in its lightning proximity dashboards.
- Real-time lightning observations
- Forecast lightning zones expected over the following hour
- Enhanced near-real-time rain radar
- Accumulated hourly and 24-hourly rainfall
- Current imagery from the Himawari-8 satellite
- Visual site-specific lightning proximity alerts
In conjunction with the dashboards, MetraWeather also provides customers with email and SmartAlerts to a nominated directory of employees advising of lightning proximity to specified site latitudes, longitudes within a radius of 10 kilometres.
These alerts form the basis of a cease work instruction and site evacuations to predetermined ‘safe’ sites. The same communication channels also advise employees when the lightning threat has passed and it is safe to return to work.
