New Weather Monitoring System Prioritizes Student and Staff Safety
-
Palm Springs Unified School District has installed the Perry Weather Monitoring System to support the health and safety of our students and staff during outdoor activities. We have installed eight weather monitoring stations across the district to ensure comprehensive coverage and provide accurate, real-time data. This system tracks temperature, air quality, humidity, and severe weather—including lightning—to help schools make informed decisions about outdoor activities. Each school has access to data from the station closest to them geographically, ensuring conditions are relevant and localized. Please refer to the Weather Monitoring Station Location Chart to determine which station is geographically closest to your child’s school site.

El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Palm Springs ha instalado el Sistema de Monitoreo Climático para apoyar la salud y seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal durante las actividades al aire libre. Se han instalado ocho estaciones de monitoreo climático en todo el distrito para garantizar una cobertura integral y proporcionar datos precisos en tiempo real.
Este sistema monitorea la temperatura, calidad del aire, humedad y condiciones climáticas severas—incluyendo rayos—para ayudar a las escuelas a tomar decisiones informadas sobre las actividades al aire libre. Cada escuela tiene acceso a los datos de la estación que se encuentra más cercana geográficamente, lo que garantiza que las condiciones sean relevantes y localizadas.
Por favor, consulte el Gráfico de Ubicación de Estaciones de Monitoreo Climático para determinar qué estación está más cerca geográficamente de la escuela de su hijo(a).

Wind speed is the measure of how fast the air is moving relative to a fixed point on the ground.
Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of heat stress that accounts for air temperature, humidity, radiant heat from the sun, and air movement to assess the safety of working or exercising in hot environments.
Air Quality Index (AQI) is a color-coded and numerical scale used to inform the public about the daily level of air pollution and its associated health risks.
