We can predict the frost and help you prepare
Our new weather forecasting service is now able to give you 24-hour updates and accurately predict weather and potential frost conditions.
The new service is of the highest quality and is so precise as it takes measurements from the road surface from points across the country, both in rural and urban locations, unlike some free service providers. This new method for collecting data gives a far more accurate warning of whether frost will be an issue or not, rather than just a guide to the air temperature.
This indication from road temperature allows the service to exactly predict the temperature for the forthcoming few hours.
The supplier of this service is a trusted name in weather information, supplying to other industries such as road maintenance, marine and industrial customers, as well as broadcasters, newspapers and digital platforms across the world. We have direct access to the forecasters and meteorologists who provide support and consultancy services 24 hours a day, so we can get real-time information for the sites that we grit.
Our provider had ISO 9001:2000 certification, an internationally recognised quality standard developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation. As testament to the company’s firm commitment to outstanding levels of client service, they were successfully re-audited in January 2009 to the newly updated ISO 9001:2008 standard.
