Outdoor activities have a different type of pleasure ratio associated. It is closer to nature, offers a break with the four walls and restricted interior spaces of the house and office and opens the door to new perspectives and experiences. Live music concerts, tournaments, corporate promotions at theme weddings, today’s outdoor events can serve any purpose with that extra touch of distinction. The realization of outdoor events has become an industry because there must be extensive research and planning to achieve any goal while creating an experience for those involved.

Influence of climate

In July 2012, the rainy weather in London caused a warning to all those planning to attend the Olympics outdoors. Although it is generally known that the weather affects clothing and other personal equipment, the planning and execution of any outdoor event requires that the organizers pay particular attention to the changes that the weather may cause. So, whether you’re making a living organizing events or planning a modest wedding in the garden for your best friend, the concerns remain the same.

Climate planning

The weather is not an aspect that appears only in the logistic part of any event plan. It plays an important role in determining when events occur. Fishing events are not good in frozen lakes and ski tournaments can not be held in summer. A long-term weather forecast always helps to understand the next season and, therefore, schedule the event accordingly. For example, the frequency of summer events across the UK increases as the months of July and August are characterized by a more stable climate. In addition to the programming, the appearance and experience of the activities are also controlled by the weather.

• Wet weather would involve additional roofing installations or at least inform the participants in advance, treat slippery points and guarantee a safe electrical installation.

• Hot weather would force people to come with hats, sunscreens and light clothing, and access to drinks would be a priority.

• Lightning forecasts would involve securing electrical, communication and lighting systems. This may also require the cancellation or postponement of the event for which a risk assessment is required in advance and contingency plans, exercises and volunteers must be established.

• Cold weather requires timely forecasts to track snowfall, hail storms, snowstorms, ice formation, and the condition of transportation routes and public transit that are not winter clothing. winter. Few places experience mild conditions, like that of Birmingham with uniformly distributed rainfall.

Cost balance and reputation

• Lightning forecasts would involve securing electrical, communication and lighting systems. This may also require the cancellation or postponement of the event for which a risk assessment is required in advance and contingency plans, exercises and volunteers must be established.

Planning for irregular weather conditions certainly involves spending on public safety, uninterrupted activities and successful implementation. Risk assessment and insurance underwriting are valued resources, although costs are often unrecoverable when events are prevented. This burden is often passed on to the public, which damages the reputation of the organizer. It is therefore ultimately a personal choice that decides how far to deal with weather conditions.
