What are weather data feeds?
Weather data feeds are used to capture environmental conditions of work areas. This can be helpful if an inspection is required or if tasks aren't safe to perform due to certain weather conditions. With SafetyCulture, you can add temperature, humidity, as well as wind speed and gust readings to your organization. With these data feeds, you can access historical logs of weather conditions and set them up to alert team members when conditions go outside of acceptable ranges.
Currently, we support temperature, humidity, as well as wind speed and gust readings as part of weather data feeds. If there's a type of data feed that you want to see, please let us know by providing your feedback.
