Weather conditions
Weather forecast from the following websites or information sources have been checked prior to trading:

Prior to Trading
Compare the predicted wind strengths (from information sources) against the operational wind speed
limits of the temporary structure(s), this should include canopies, parasols, screens, etc.
If the wind speeds are forecast to be higher than operational limits, then trading or use of the structures
may have to be curtailed / cancelled.
Day of Trading
Structures should be weighed down with ballast/weights relative to the predicted wind gust speed. This
information can be either supplied by the manufacturer or by an engineer.
To ensure that any structures are dismantled in good time if the weather begins to worsen and to avoid
any accidents, a maximum wind speed should be set. If the wind picks up to 75% of that speed, the
structures should start to be dismantled before the wind becomes too strong to do this safely.
Maximum wind speed is * _________________________________________
*Use the wind speed specified by manufacturer or by engineer
Therefore, 75% of maximum windspeed is ** ____________________________
**Choose a wind speed at which trading / use of structures will cease.
These wind speeds can be expressed using any unit of measurement, however a Beaufort W ind Scale is
attached for reference.
NB: The chosen wind speed must be consistent with the information above
