Real-time lightning monitoring, automated suspension alerts, and clear-to-play countdowns — powered by Vaisala's global lightning detection network, trusted by the National Weather Service and aviation authorities worldwide. Any coordinates, any country. Live in 60 seconds.
Every outdoor venue faces the same problem. The question isn't whether lightning will disrupt your operations — it's whether you'll be prepared when it does.
Lightning injuries at venues and events regularly result in lawsuits exceeding $2 million. Without a documented lightning safety protocol and real-time monitoring, you have no defence. StrikeWatch provides an auditable, timestamped record of every decision.
Resuming play too early means evacuating again minutes later. Every unnecessary suspension costs revenue, disrupts schedules, and erodes trust. StrikeWatch's precise strike tracking minimises false positives and gives you a clear countdown to safe resumption.
Traditional lightning detection systems require $10,000–$30,000 in sensors, sirens, and installation — per site. World tours can't ship hardware to every city. Construction firms can't install sensors on every crane. StrikeWatch is pure software: enter any coordinates on Earth and you're live.
If your people are outside and lightning is a risk, StrikeWatch gives you the intelligence to make the call.
