Weather delay records & cost tracking

Weather Delay Log

Log weather-caused site delays - cause, hours lost and cost impact - and see exactly which cause is costing you the most with a hand-built bar chart that makes the worst culprit visible the moment it happens, not months later.

Metre2 Weather Delay Log showing the hours-lost-by-cause bar chart

A hand-built hours-lost-by-cause bar chart

One bar per weather cause with delays logged against it, sorted worst to least, each bar colour-coded and labelled with its hour count and running cost total - a proportional scale, not a canned chart library or a table.

Seven weather causes, plus your own

Rain, Wind, Snow/Ice, Frost, Extreme heat, Flooding and Storm cover the common ones - type a free-text "Other" cause for anything that doesn't fit.

Hours lost and an optional cost impact

Every delay records hours lost, and an optional currency-agnostic cost impact - enter whatever number matters to you, and the app totals it for you.

Totals and a searchable history

The Summary tab totals delays logged, total hours lost, total cost impact, delays this week and this month, and the most common cause, alongside a full searchable delay history.

A By Site breakdown

Every site or location with a logged delay, broken down by delay count, hours lost and cost impact, sorted with the worst-hit site first.

Log a delay in one place

Date, trade/area, cause, hours lost, optional cost impact, site/location and notes - one quick form, with every entry landing in a searchable table with a delete action.

Copy summary or export HTML

Copy a plain-text summary of totals and the hours-lost-by-cause breakdown to the clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file to keep or share.

Light/dark theme and rotating sample logs

Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and two rotating sample delay logs - each spanning several causes and sites - let you explore the chart before logging your own.

How it compares to SafetyCulture

Weather delay logging is a narrow niche with no dedicated named product - most sites either build a custom form in a broad platform like SafetyCulture, or keep a paper/Excel log. Here's how a focused, one-off desktop tool built specifically for weather delays compares to building your own form in SafetyCulture.

Weather Delay Log, in practice

Frequently asked questions

What does the hours-lost-by-cause bar chart actually show?

One bar per weather cause that has at least one delay logged against it, sorted from the most hours lost to the least. Each bar is colour-coded per cause and labelled with its hour count and running cost total, so the worst culprit is visible immediately without digging through a spreadsheet.

What weather causes can I log a delay against?

A fixed set covering the common ones - Rain, Wind, Snow/Ice, Frost, Extreme heat, Flooding and Storm - plus a free-text "Other" option for anything that doesn't fit, such as lightning risk or fog.

What do "hours lost" and "cost impact" mean?

Hours lost is the working time a trade or area was stood down because of that delay. Cost impact is an optional, currency-agnostic figure you enter yourself - Weather Delay Log doesn't calculate it for you, it just totals whatever you record.

Is Weather Delay Log a substitute for a proper EOT claims process?

No. It's a record-keeping and cost-tracking log - it records what happened, when, and the hours/cost you logged against it. It doesn't calculate contractual entitlement, assess causation against your contract terms, or generate extension-of-time claim documents.

Does my Weather Delay Log account work with Vector and Forma?

Yes - Weather Delay Log uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.

Can I export or share the log?

Yes - copy a plain-text summary to your clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file with totals and the hours-lost-by-cause breakdown.

What does the By Site tab show?

Every site or location with at least one logged delay, broken down by delay count, hours lost and cost impact, sorted with the worst-hit site first - useful the moment you're running more than one site at once.
