Victorious Festival: How RPR is helping put on a show

Victorious Festival is set to take place this Friday 26^th to Sunday 28^th August in one of the most beautiful festival locations in the world. Headline acts Stereophonics, Paolo Nutini and Sam Fender are set to stun the town of Southsea with their popular hits all weekend.

Currently, the forecast shows sunny weather with highs of 23c – predicting a fantastic weekend of singing and dancing. But, the festival would have been delayed if treacherous conditions were to have descended during installation of their temporary structures.

With the help of RPR, Victorious Festival installed a Gill WindSonic 1 sensor a few hundred meters from the festival site. Combined with a WS-15A display, the organisers can easily read live wind data 24 hours a day.

This ensures that health and safety protocols are followed, and no work is done in dangerous conditions. Being so close to the coast, the importance of actively monitoring the site is elevated, meaning that the ability to view live wind data at the site of the festival online through both the WS-15A and weatherfile.com becomes extremely valuable.

With the option of Premium membership to WeatherFile, partners and users can set up customisable alerts to certain parameters such as wind speed. This makes monitoring health and safety hazards extremely easy and can take the assumptions out of safety decisions.

Perfect for temporary events

The range of meteorological sensors that RPR offers, from Gill MaxiMet, WindSonic and MetConnect can easily be coupled with our very own WeatherFile technology, providing a fantastic solution to live weather monitoring.

Decisions on health and safety, particularly in the events industry, can often be complex and subjective. However, WeatherFile can be trusted to provide highly accurate and reliable data on a vast range of weather parameters needed to take the guess work out of tricky decisions on when to stop and start operations.

Part of another industry?

WeatherFile already provides solutions for 100+ organisations including airfields, sailing clubs, construction sites, gardens, parks and much more. If you are interested in how WeatherFile can provide a unique solution to your organisation including customisable alarm settings, email alerts and portable solutions – reach out to us at sales@rpr.co.uk or give us a call at 01590641223.

How RPR can help you manage livestock and crops during a drought

The UK has been seeing unprecedented temperatures and little to zero rainfall for weeks, which means many of our crops, livestock and agricultural land have been suffering. It can be difficult to know what extent the dryness and temperature can have on agricultural work, yet Richard Paul Russell Ltd offers several items that may be a great help.

Kestrel 5500AG Agricultural weather meter

This meter is RPR’s most complete environmental meter designed for agricultural purposes. This meter measures moisture content, wind direction (including crosswind), and includes a digital compass, meaning it goes above and beyond the 5000AG model. Perfect for livestock care, crop production, barn welfare and other agricultural activities, this meter calculates Delta T – which provides guidance on the evaporation rate of sprayed chemicals, so you can select the best time and spray nozzle for spraying.

Kestrel DROP D2 AG

Need something more portable? The Kestrel DROP D2AG is an easy to use highly accurate livestock heat stress data logger with free-to-use Bluetooth connected App for both iOS and Android.

This small, rugged and drop-proof data logger measures temperature-humidity index (THI), as well as temperature, humidity, dew point and heat stress index to give data to help manage your livestock or crops.

The device is IP67-rated and can be connected to the Kestrel App via a smart device from up to 100ft away. Conveniently designed with a ring, DROP D2AG can be easily hooked or placed in the barn, during transport, or anywhere livestock and feedstock are housed.

Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter

The Kestrel 5000AG is a compact handheld device used by farmers, sheep and cattle producers, veterinary professionals and livestock handlers. This environmental meter has a variety of agricultural specific applications including assessing barn and storage ventilation effectiveness, barn climate, livestock heat stress, air speed, field microclimates, storage conditions and transportation safety.

The meter has an extremely large data capacity and can be paired with a tripod to be left for weeks. Above and beyond the DROP data logger, this meter measures:

• Dew Point Temperature
• Heat Stress Index
• Relative Humidity
• Air Flow & Air Speed
• Temperature-Humidity Index (THI)
• Temperature / Wind Chill (Fahrenheit and Celsius)
• Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure)
• Barometric Pressure (inHg and hPa (mb))
• Pressure Trend
• Altitude (Feet and Meters)
• Density altitude
• Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric)
• Exterior temperature, humidity & pressure sensors for fast & accurate readings
