Sport Weather Research

Sport Weather Research

Environmental monitoring and applied research to protect athletes from heat, cold, lightning, and severe weather.

Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) & beyond

Exertional heat illness remains one of the leading causes of sudden death in sport — and it's preventable. We operate and study environmental monitoring networks and apply that data to real activity-modification policy for teams, schools, and events.

  • On-site and networked WBGT / heat stress monitoring
  • Heat acclimatization and activity-modification policy design
  • Applied environmental research and publication support
  • Cold weather, lightning, and severe weather risk protocols
  • Real-time heat safety mapping and alerting
SportWeather.org Network

Our environmental monitoring and research network, including live WBGT mapping tools, operates as part of Dr. Michael Robinson's Sport Weather Lab at York University.
