Weather, tied to your site.
Live Weather Integration pulls the forecast and conditions for your project's exact location into Oversite, and records the weather on every daily inspection.
Live Weather Integration brings the forecast and recorded weather for a project's exact location into Oversite. A five-day forecast sits on the project and group dashboards, the conditions for the site and date load onto each daily inspection, and a Weather Days report totals the days you have logged. Because the forecast keys off the coordinates saved on the project address, the record reflects conditions at the site, not a weather station miles away.
Weather from the nearest city rarely matches the site.
Rain that stops a crew has to be defensible months later. A regional average is not.
Weather from 20 miles off
Crews pull the day's conditions from the closest reporting station, which can sit 20 or 30 miles from the job. A valley site sees rain the station never records.
A side spreadsheet of rain days
Weather days get tracked in a separate spreadsheet, disconnected from the daily report and the schedule. Someone re-keys it when a claim comes up.
Hard to defend later
Six months on, a change-order question asks how many weather days hit the schedule. Without a site-specific record tied to each inspection, the answer is a guess.
Set the location once. The record builds itself.
Set the project location
Save the address on the project or group. The forecast keys off those coordinates, so every reading matches the site.
Open the inspection
On the Basics step of a daily inspection, the conditions for that site and date load on their own. Mark the weather day and add notes.
Run the report
The Weather Days report totals the days you logged and sets them against approved time extensions. Export to PDF or CSV.
01. The site forecast, on your dashboard.
A five-day forecast sits on every project and group dashboard, keyed to the site's own coordinates. Each day shows the high and low, the expected conditions, and a warning on the days that look poor for outdoor work. Hover any day for the chance of precipitation, humidity, wind, and the sunrise and sunset times.
02. Weather, captured on the DWR.
Open the Basics step of a daily inspection and the weather for that site and date loads on its own. You get the day's temperature range in Fahrenheit and three snapshots at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM, each with conditions, humidity, wind, and precipitation. Set the Weather Day toggle when weather affected the work, add notes, and it saves with the inspection. It works offline and syncs on reconnect.
03. Every weather day, accounted for.
The Weather Days report lists each day you recorded as a weather day, with the inspector, the DWR it came from, and the notes. It counts distinct days on approved and completed inspections, then sets that count against the calendar days approved change orders added to the completion date. Run it for one project or a whole group, and export to PDF or CSV.
Live weather, answered.
What is Live Weather Integration?
It is the part of Oversite that pulls the forecast and observed conditions for a project's exact location into the app. The forecast shows on the project and group dashboards, the conditions load onto each daily inspection, and a Weather Days report totals the days you have logged.
Where does the weather come from?
From the location saved on the project or group address. Oversite looks up the conditions for that latitude and longitude, so the reading reflects your site rather than a general area or a distant station.
What weather does a daily inspection capture?
The day's temperature range and three time-of-day snapshots at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM, each with conditions, humidity, wind, and precipitation. You also set a Weather Day toggle and write notes. Temperatures are shown in Fahrenheit.
What is a weather day, and what is the Imbalance Count?
A weather day is a day you marked as affected by weather on an inspection. The Imbalance Count is the recorded weather days minus the calendar days that approved change orders added to the completion date. A positive number means you have logged more weather days than the time extensions granted so far.
Which inspections count toward the Weather Days report?
Only approved or completed inspections. Weather days are counted by calendar date, so two inspections on the same day count once.
Does capturing weather work offline?
Yes. The weather day flag, the notes, and the conditions captured before you went offline save with the inspection and sync when you reconnect.
