  1. An interesting article highlighting the confusion often involved in weather downtime and compensation claims. The Met Office does however offer a much denser coverage of weather reporting locations for contractors than may be implied here. Over 3560 points are available for contractors to choose from. It is for users to ensure they locate and choose the nearest weather station to their sites to avoid some of the pitfalls mentioned in the article and of course the Met Office are more than happy to offer guidance and advice on the matter. Please see here for details http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/construction/location-based-reports. Met Office staff are also on hand to advise you on 1-in-10 figures and long term averages; just contact us at [email protected] or look at the FAQ on our building webpage.
