1 – No risk, no risk present C – Next to no disruption to the production
2 – Risk present, noticeable B – Minor disruption to the production, can be
very light wind or a small light shower of rain
3- High risk present, A – High disruption to production capture,
sudden high winds, heavy rain, snow
< - Fixed risk, there all the time, no changes
> - Variable risk, can change to weather or
