Tool
Repaint and weather checker
This is a checklist, not a weather service. It does not fetch a forecast and it does not know your product. You enter what you can see and what the forecast says, and it tells you what to check before you open anything.
Enter your figures and select Calculate. Results appear here.
Method
The checker applies a fixed set of rules to what you entered. It makes no claim about any product's performance.
- Frozen or saturated ground produces a stop, because paint applied to either will not hold.
- Under two hours before rain, or a temperature band below 5 °C, produces a hold so you can check the figures on your container first.
- Line visibility and hours until kick-off then set the priority: mark now, mark today, or no repaint needed yet.
- Every result restates the checks you still have to make yourself, including drying time, minimum application temperature and surface suitability.
Assumptions
- No forecast is retrieved. The rain window is whatever you enter.
- No product data is held. Drying time, minimum application temperature and surface compatibility all come from your container.
- The result is an advisory priority for planning, not an instruction.
Limits of this tool
This tool makes no claim about chemical compatibility, safety, drying performance or the suitability of any product for any surface. Those come from the manufacturer's instructions and safety data sheet.
