East Chapel Hill High School has joined the WeatherBug Network, with the installment of a real-time, live weather station on top of the school this summer.
The station provides live data for the school and local community, including temperature, heat index, humidity, radar and forecasts. The lightning system attached to the station helps the athletics department with real-time information for practices and games. WeatherBug has 8,000 tracking stations and more than 1,000 cameras primarily based at neighborhood schools and public-safety facilities across the country.
Information from the ECHHS WeatherBug station is available through weatherbug.com. Free “Weather on Your Desk Top” downloads are available for both Macs and PCs. Those searching for the ECHHS station should input the school’s zip code, 27514, on the website, then choose the second option, East Chapel Hill High.
