Weather delay records & cost tracking
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 remembers your choice, and two rotating sample delay logs - each spanning several causes and sites - let you explore the chart before logging your own.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Install Weather Delay Log and get going - there's nothing to sign up for. The optional Register button lets you leave your name and email for update news.
Yes - copy a plain-text summary to your clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file with totals and the hours-lost-by-cause breakdown.
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.
