Working document
The weather day log and notice template
A one page fill in record for the morning it rains, built so a reviewer who was never on your site can follow the day from the first gauge reading to the notice that went out.

Resources for the people documenting weather days
Everything here is built for a superintendent or project engineer who has to prove a rain day to somebody who was never standing in it.
There are three kinds of resource on this site. The comparisons help you decide where the weather record should live next to the platforms and field apps your company already runs. The calculators put dollar figures and calendar days on the exposure, which is usually what moves a conversation with an owner or with your own executive team. The template is the working document itself, usable on paper the morning a job floods.
All of it comes from the same place as the product. We spend our days looking at real commercial weather day records and at the reasons owners strike them, and almost none of those reasons are about how hard it rained. They are about missing sources, vague activity descriptions, hours that do not reconcile with payroll, and notice that went out after the window closed. Everything below is aimed at those four failures.
Free tools
Weather day calculators for commercial job sites
Two free tools that put numbers on the part of the job nobody bids accurately: what a rained out morning costs and how many days you are owed beyond the baseline.
Comparisons
How RainDelayLog compares with the tools already on your job site
Three straight comparisons for superintendents who need a weather day to survive an owner's scheduler, not just get typed into a report.

About
Who writes all of this
The author page covers who writes this material, the commercial job sites, weather clauses and denied rain days behind it, and how to reach a person about the schedule extension you are trying to defend.
Keep the material, then look at the working version
The template, the calculators and the comparisons are yours with nothing attached, and plenty of superintendents run a whole season on the printed sheet alone. What the app adds shows up on the morning after a heavy rain, when the gauge reads zero, the subgrade will not pass a proof roll and nobody remembers to open a dry out day. Book a demo, bring a job with real weather exposure, and judge it on that job.
