Protecting your workforce is always the right thing to do-but in Michigan, it may also come with financial support. Through the MIOSHA Consultation, Education, and Training (CET) Division, small employers with 250 or fewer employees can apply for a matching grant of up to $5,000 to fund safety and health improvements. These grants can cover ...

In the wind energy sector-whether at turbine factories, assembly facilities, or during field construction and maintenance-environmental risks such as heat, wind, and lightning are not just peripheral concerns. They can interrupt operations, threaten worker safety, and trigger compliance obligations. A robust, data-logging weather and ...

Wind chill is a measure used in cold weather to describe how cold it feels on exposed skin when wind is combined with air temperature. The wind carries away the thin layer of warm air that your body naturally creates against its surface. As wind speed increases, the loss of your heat accelerates, so the air feels colder than the actual ambient ...

Launching a hobby rocket is an exciting mix of science, precision, and adrenaline, but nothing influences success more than the weather. Whether you're a weekend rocketeer or part of a local model rocket club, environmental conditions can make the difference between a safe, high-flying launch and a failed or even dangerous event.

Weather forecasts often mention a low-pressure system. It may seem technical or distant, but low-pressure systems affect the weather every day. They bring clouds, wind, rain, storms, and sometimes severe weather. Understanding how low pressure works, how it is measured, and its impacts helps people prepare for changing weather, protect their ...

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above Earth's surface pressing down on everything below. It is a fundamental component of weather. One of the major features meteorologists track is a high-pressure system. High-pressure systems influence weather, climate, air quality, and our daily lives. Knowing what high pressure means and how to...

Whether you're gliding a foamie through a quiet park or piloting a gas-powered warbird at your local AMA field, there's one factor that every RC pilot has to respect: the weather. It influences every aspect of your flight-lift, control, battery drain, and recovery. Unlike full-scale aviation, RC flying offers no cockpit instruments or a co-...

As commercial drone operations expand across industries-from agriculture and infrastructure inspection to photography, mapping, and delivery-weather has emerged as one of the most critical variables in flight safety and mission success. Drones are sensitive to environmental conditions, and even mild weather changes can impact flight stability, ...

Wind speed is a fundamental atmospheric measurement that plays a crucial role in various applications, including weather forecasting, aviation, marine navigation, construction, firefighting, and competitive sports. It's not just about how fast the air is moving—it's about how that movement affects people, equipment, safety protocols, and ...

How to Read the Chart, Interpret the Danger, and Respond Proactively in Hot Conditions
As summer temperatures climb, the air can feel hotter than the number on the thermometer. That's because humidity plays a critical role in how our bodies experience heat. The heat index—also known as the “feels like” temperature—combines both air ...
