Pioneering Lightning Safety

50+ Years of Prediction Excellence

Thor Guard is designed to detect and most importantly PREDICT lightning by measuring the static electricity in the atmosphere and monitoring how much energy is building and changing BEFORE lightning occurs. All other lightning systems or methods can only detect lightning and warn you AFTER lightning has struck nearby.

Predicting Lightning Before It Strikes

THOR GUARD has always detected lightning, but it is our prediction algorithms that have enabled our Lightning Prediction Systems to stand apart from any other company claiming to be our competitor. Don’t be misled by lightning detection companies that utilize delayed and inaccurate detection networks. Detection companies require an actual lightning strike to occur before a warning is issued that it is no longer safe to be outdoors! How is that considered 'lightning safety'? Thor Guard, on the other hand, was engineered to warn PRIOR to a first strike in a defined area near a sensor so people can safely seek shelter BEFORE that first strike occurs.

We love our clients, and they love us

Brazil is the country with the most lightning strikes in the world, as it is the largest tropical country on the planet, with a hot and rainy climate. The annual average is 77.8 million lightning strikes, but in the last two years 280 million lightning strikes were recorded. Lightning strikes cause an average of 110 deaths per year in Brazil. Therefore, the use of the Thor Guard Lightning System is essential to ensure the safety of the golf course and other areas of the condominium such as the beach, equestrian, lakes, etc. Despite the distance from ThorGuard’s headquarters, we are very happy with the quality of the company’s equipment and remote support.

We have enjoyed our Thor Guard system for many years. We have a monitor up in the golf shop and the Thor Guard color system makes it easy for our staff to show our customers when dangerous weather is getting close or when it becomes all clear. It takes out the guess work, which we all appreciate.

In my 3 decades of working in the Caribbean and Central America, there is not a better system to protect your golfers/members/guests from a possible lightning strike. Thorguard gives people time to get to a safe area before something bad happens to someone. That is why we chose Thorguard. We would not be safe with any other system. Thank you Thorguard.

Heath Henrich, PGA

We’ve been with ThorGuard for over a decade, and upgraded to 360 five years ago. The functionality has vastly improved the benefits we receive from the system. In addition to safety notifications for our membership and the helpful app, the data collected by our weather station is critical to help our Superintendent track precipitation and ET rates.

Thor Guard 360 is extremely reliable, has taken the guesswork out of predicting lightning, and ensures staff and visitors remain safe.
