IOM Trade Day Tracker

Two questions sit on every IOM tradie's daily calendar:① Will the weather hold for that roof? — per-trade work-windows scored red/amber/green.② Will materials make Thursday's ferry? — Steam Packet sailings + cancellations alongside.

Both shape the same week. Both ought to live in one view. Updated every 30 minutes. Bookmark it.

How we score it.

Electrician

External pole work needs sub-30mph. Indoor work is permissive. Min temp -5°C.

Plumber / heating

External condenser/oil tank work tightens the wind cap. Min temp -5°C.

Builder

Roof + scaffolding red-line at 31mph (HSE dismantling guidance). Min temp 2°C, near-dry preferred.

Joiner

Site joinery wants near-dry conditions. Min temp 0°C, wind cap 38mph. Workshop-only days no constraint.

Roofer

Work at height — HSE 31mph red-line for roof work, and wet decking means slips, so near-dry only. Min temp 2°C.

Day rule: RED if any 08:00–18:00 hour breaches a hard threshold; GREEN if 4+ consecutive daytime hours are clean; otherwise AMBER.

If you run a company, reill does this on your jobs.

Same forecasts, but per-postcode and pinned to specific job visits. Drag a roof job onto a Thursday, see it red, swap to indoor work.
