Our spot-specific forecast tells you the times when lessons are most likely to go ahead!
It's 90% accurate because the conditions are set by our school. 

• ✅ Green check — Likely to go ahead
  The forecast is within the conditions set by our school.
• 🟠 Orange dot — Borderline conditions
  The forecast is close to the limits of our conditions. Your lesson may or may not go ahead.
• ❌ Red cross — Unlikely to go ahead
  The forecast falls outside the conditions set by our school.

The school makes the final call
Weather conditions can change quickly, so this forecast is only an indication. A green check may still result in a cancellation, while conditions shown with a red cross may improve. Our school always makes the final decision and will let you know whether your lesson is going ahead.
