Weather Information Designed For Outdoor Workforce

The official site of The Weather Channel®, weather.com has introduced a Work Site area to provide information for outdoor workers who rely on detailed weather information for doing their jobs. Weather can make or break these professionals’ days from a profitability standpoint, so an accurate forecast is a sound starting point for scheduling the week ahead.

The Work Site area of weather.com features current conditions and 10-day forecasts for more than 77,000 locations, as well as outlooks for the following outdoor occupations:

The Construction Outlook - This section includes a daylight hour calculator, printable versions of local forecasts to post at job sites, information about building codes and other weather-related construction news.

The Transportation Outlook - For contractors and LCOs heading out for maintenance calls, applications or installations far from the office, the transportation outlook includes transportation-related maps. Users can check the forecast for locations along their route.

The Agriculture Outlook - By checking local crop forecast and growing degree data, contractors can get a better idea about how plants and turf are going to fare at a given time during the year.

The Marine Outlook - Although the marine outlook may not directly relate to workers in the lawn and landscape industry, information about coastal conditions and the marine forecast might be useful for those rare days off that contractors and LCOs can spend boating instead of doing hard labor.
