A Pulsar 600 Weather Station with additional soil/water temperature sensor helps the Kezar Lake Watershed Association accomplish its mission to “preserve, protect and maintain the ecological, scenic, and recreational resources of Kezar Lake and its watershed.” Located in southern Maine, the watershed is home to hundreds of animal species and encompasses a 56-mile network of forests, streams, ponds and wetlands that flow into Kezar Lake. The weather monitoring system was purchased in 2017 after “extensive research of available systems,” according to KLWA Director Don Griggs. “Only the Pulsar 600 met the criteria we established.” One of KLWA’s projects is protecting the water quality of the lake . This includes maintaining a comprehensive, scientifically-based water quality research and monitoring program. “We use the weather data, especially temperature data, to enable us to calculate various water quality measurements that we make several times a year,” says Don. “We also provide lots...

This week, Washington joined the Oregon OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in adopting emergency safety measures in response to the recent record-breaking temperatures across the Pacific Northwest. The heatwave has been classified as a mass casualty event including at least one worker death. Oregon’s OSHA Administrator Michael Wood stated, “This rule creates greater clarity for employers about the specific steps that need to be taken to protect workers from heat stress dangers at work.” The main factor considered is heat index, which is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with air temperature. According to Oregon OSHA, a workplace hazard exists when heat index reaches 80°F. The new measures require employers to provide adequate shade, drinking water, and implementation of a emergency medical plan when the heat index rises above 90°F including monitoring employees for signs of heat illness.  ♨️ For high heat safety...
