Monitoring the weather
Agricultural workers across the world face some of the highest risks of heat-related illness, especially during peak growing seasons.
With around 940 million people working in agriculture globally, and the sector expected to account for about 60% of all working hours lost to heat stress by 2030, many regions are now experiencing long periods of unsafe conditions as heatwaves become more frequent and intense.
Farmers need simple, dependable ways to monitor local weather and heat stress so they can plan work safely, adjust schedules when needed, and protect both people and productivity.
Environmental monitoring
MaxiMet GMX552 integrates heat stress monitoring into a compact, reliable weather station with on-board Wet Bulb Globe Temperature calculation. By continuously measuring temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation, it gives farmers a clear picture of when conditions are putting workers at risk.
