The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has joined forces with global lightning detection specialist, METEORAGE, in a deal that is set to bolster existing efforts aimed at safeguarding the public and industries such as aviation and power generation from severe weather impacts associated with lightning.

METEORAGE, a global specialist in thunderstorm & lightning detection and decision support services, has joined forces with RECASE, a German engineering company specialized in on- and offshore Wind-Energy-Technology, to reduce lightning-related risks. METEORAGE and RECASE have signed an agreement to strengthen the use of solutions dedicated to Wind energy in Germany, ensuring that users benefit from cutting-edge technology built upon proven global expertise and the most accurate data available.

Since our inception, our driving purpose to protect lives and property by mitigating the risks generated by lightning and thunderstorms, has firmly anchored our social commitment at the heart of our values and of all of our missions. Choosing to adopt the CSR Commitment label sends a strong message: the recognition of being a responsible organization that is committed to the sustainable and positive development of its operations.
