• Total working hours expected to be lost to various thresholds of wind speed, rainfall and temperature in an average year
• Net surplus or deficit of working hours lost to various thresholds of wind speed, rainfall and temperature for this year
• Extremity of wind speed, rainfall and temperature for this year (i.e. was the weather exceptionally adverse or unprecedented)

Weather Frequency Analysis

This report provides detailed statistics about weather most likely to be experienced during any contract and the probability of encountering various extreme events.

For any construction site, for any period (month, season, or the year as a whole), this report presents:

• The likelihood of a day equalling or exceeding any value of temperature, sunshine, rainfall or gust
• The average interval before recurrence (i.e. the return period) for a day with any value of temperature, sunshine, rainfall or gust
• The modal (most common), mean (average) and median (midpoint) values for temperature, sunshine, rainfall and gust

• Proportion of all days with thunder, hail, snow falling/lying.

Environmental Report
