Prairie Energy is a proud sponsor of the School Net program through KCCI News Channel 8 in Des Moines and Touchstone Energy.
The School Net weather station provides “real-time” data for the students and the meteorologists at KCCI-TV in Des Moines. The sensors monitor the temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, dew point, wind-chill and barometric pressure. This information is recorded on a computer and then sent via the Internet to KCCI-TV.
KCCI-TV features the School Net data on five daily newscasts and includes special coverage when areas experience severe weather. The weather data may also be accessed via the Internet through KCCI’s web site, TheIowaChannel.com.
Prairie Energy sponsors School Net at: Clarion, Belmond, Eagle Grove and Webster City along with a Web Cams at Webster City and Clarion.
