Zelus WBGT: Real-Time Heat Safety Monitoring

Zelus is a patented system that delivers hyperlocal Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) readings, lightning alerts, AQI data, and compliance documentation tools — without expensive weather hardware.

WBGT is not the same as temperature or heat index. It accounts for the major environmental factors that affect heat stress, including temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation.

WBGT is widely used in athletics, military, workplace safety, and heat illness prevention programs because it provides a more complete picture of heat stress risk.

With Zelus, you can monitor the conditions that matter, save important safety data, and document your decisions in the field.

A Few Things to Know

• Heat illness can occur at any temperature. Always have a plan in place to prevent, recognize, and respond to heat illness.

• Zelus may use your phone's last known GPS location. For the most accurate results, use saved locations.

• All environmental measurement systems can occasionally produce readings outside an expected range. Users should always apply their own judgment and follow applicable policies, procedures, and local conditions.

• Zelus WBGT may provide less accurate readings in certain environments, including enclosed tennis courts or large black surfaces such as parking lots.

• Lightning detection is not 100 percent. If you see lightning or hear thunder, take appropriate safety precautions immediately.

• Lightning detection is available in the United States. AQI monitoring is available where supported.

• Signup requires a name and email address.

Ratings and reviews

I PURCHASED this app a few years ago for $3.99. NOW they update the app and there is a paid subscription? $4.49 per month or $49.99 per year for club sports? WTH? Thanks but NO THANKS! I will find the info a different way! I can't believe the change! Those that purchased the app before should have access to minimal info at least! So disappointed! 😡🤬😠

DANGEROUS APP! This app is inaccurate; it could be dangerous. The app consistently reads below the actual reading. Example: today, my Kestrel on-site was reading over 94° in the black zone by MSHSAA standards (no outside practice). This app was reading much lower, upper end of the orange zone (okay to go out). This could definitely put someone at risk. Several of my fellow ATs have the same issue. The color codes are different than MSHSAA and make it confusing. Definitely would not rely on it!

Shows wet bulb temp. wish it had a widget. No idea why other people had sign-up issues. It was easy for me.
