Live events and outdoor venues are especially vulnerable to bad weather. The AccuWeather For Business team works year-round with their clients to identify weather impacts and ways to protect guests and staff against major threats. Weather mitigation services such as our SkyGuard® help venue managers decide when to take action. When thunderstorms roll toward an outdoor venue — whether a stadium hosts a football game or concert or a fairground hosts a festival — event organizers know about the inclement weather threat hours in advance. That threat often triggers an emergency preparedness plan that has the venue facing the decision of whether to evacuate or postpone. “Working with a venue on a particular day, we will be talking with them about their site-specific forecast, so they will know if we believe there is a threat,” said Jon Porter, Senior Vice President, Weather Content and Forecast Operations & Chief Meteorologist for AccuWeather.
