Use cases · Sport

Make the call on heat, lightning and rain with time to spare.

Clubs, leagues and venues use Flowershift to plan fixtures, protect players and decide on covers, breaks and delays before the weather forces it.

A match day screen for a regional stadium: rain radar with lightning strikes and 10 and 20 km rings round the ground and a storm arriving about 3:40 pm, a heat stress (WBGT) chart against extra-breaks and stop-play limits, timing for the covers, and the day’s fixtures marked play or delay.

Sport

How teams use it.

Heat policy, forecast

Forecast heat stress against your sport’s policy, so extra breaks, shortened games or reschedules can be called the day before.

Lightning, stop and resume

Alerts when strikes come inside your rings, and a countdown to when play can safely resume.

Rain timing for covers

Minute-by-minute rain arrival so ground staff know when to bring the covers on and off.

Every ground and fixture in one place.

Add your grounds, courts and courses, load the fixture list, and see which games are at risk across the next fortnight.

  • Heat stress by hour against your policy
  • Lightning stop and resume countdown
  • Rain nowcast for covers and play
  • Fixture risk across the season
  • Records for match reports and appeals

Features used

The sun’s path from sunrise at 5:42 am to sunset at 7:18 pm, with hourly UV bars peaking at an extreme 11 at 1 pm.

Questions.

Which heat stress measure do you use?
Placeholder: we forecast wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and apparent temperature, and you can set thresholds to match your sport’s heat policy.
Can a league share grounds with its clubs?
Yes. A league can add every ground and give each club its own view and alerts. See team routing.
