Terms of Service
Last updated: June 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of WetBulbTracker.com and its related features (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. What WetBulbTracker is
WetBulbTracker is a free, informational tool that estimates heat-stress metrics — including wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), heat index, apparent temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and dew point — for locations around the world, using third-party weather data and published scientific methods. It is intended for general awareness and educational purposes.
2. Not safety, medical, or professional advice
The Service is not a substitute for official warnings or professional judgment. Heat-stress estimates are derived from forecast and model data and local conditions can differ significantly from what is shown. Do not rely on the Service as your sole basis for decisions affecting health or safety.
- Always follow official guidance from your national weather service, local authorities, employer, event organizer, or sports governing body.
- For medical concerns or emergencies, consult a qualified professional or your local emergency services.
- You are solely responsible for decisions you make based on the Service.
Any personalized or "safe for me" risk indication is a general, heuristic aid based on the limited information you choose to provide. It is not medical advice, a medical device, or a diagnosis, and it does not account for your full health situation. Consult a qualified professional about your personal heat risk.
3. Data and accuracy
The Service relies on third-party data sources (including Open-Meteo, ERA5 reanalysis, the U.S. National Weather Service, and RainViewer) and computed estimates. While we strive for accuracy and publish our methodology and live validation, we make no guarantee that the information is accurate, complete, current, or available without interruption. Estimates may contain errors, gaps, or delays.
4. Accounts
Some features (such as saved locations, synced preferences, and an optional personalization profile) require an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity that occurs under your account. You may delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service in any unlawful way or in violation of these Terms;
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at abusive volumes, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
- Misrepresent the Service's output as official or authoritative; or
- Use the Service to harm others or infringe their rights.
6. Intellectual property
The Service's name, branding, design, original code, and original written content are owned by WetBulbTracker and protected by applicable law. Underlying scientific methods and third-party data remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their terms. Our published methodology is provided for transparency and may be referenced with attribution.
7. Third-party services and links
The Service depends on and may link to third-party services. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or availability of third parties, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, WetBulbTracker and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss or injury arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service or reliance on its information.
10. Changes
We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the operator resides, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
