The MET Office
Throughout the winter season, we monitor the weather 24/7 using the industry leaders in forecasting –The Met Office. The Met Office operates a traffic light system – Red Alert, being high risk of ice and/or snow, down to Green Alert, being no risk of ice and/or snow.
This is a comprehensive service that we pay for and is postcode specific to your individual site/s, which allows us to give you an accurate and reliable service. Each morning the Met Office data feeds into our system to identify the risk thresholds for our clients. The risks identified can be a combination of Road Surface Temperatures (RST), frost, ice or snow. The data is then analysed against each company's requirements, and any risks will automatically notify our clients of the intended service that evening.
We can also look at the long-range forecast well ahead of inclement weather to ensure we are never caught out.
