Hampshire Weather Forecast

Bouncy castles must NOT be used in very windy, wet, snowy or icy weather conditions. The British Standard Health & Safety regulations BS EN14960 states that bouncy castles and inflatables must not be used in wind speeds or gusts greater than 19mph (force 5 on the Beaufort Scale). Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale is a fresh breeze (when leaves on small trees begin to sway), whereas force 6 is a strong breeze (when large branches are in motion). See bottom of this page for further explanation.
We use BBC Weather, Met Office, XC Weather & MetroGroup as well as various phone apps. If you are checking the wind speeds yourself, please make sure you check the wind gusts, not just wind speeds as they are reported differently on different weather forecasting websites.

Outdoors on Grass: If wind speeds or wind gusts are in excess of 19mph on the day of your event then we would be unable to erect our equipment outside on grass (using anchor stakes).

Indoors on Hard Surface: The wind and rain does not affect the setup of bouncy castles and inflatables indoors, but In the interest of health and safety, please ensure the hall floor is swept before the equipment is setup.

All Surface Types: With health and safety in mind, there may be times due to adverse weather conditions out of our control, when snow, ice or flooding may stop us from being unable to make a safe delivery or collection for you. Although the roads near you may be passable today, they may not be passable on the day of your event for delivery or collection. We also have to take into account the back roads/estates and footpaths our staff would need to safely use from their home to our storage unit, to your venue and back again. We can not afford to lose any of our staff due to injury and we certainly do not want to be responsible for our staff causing injury (or even worse, death) to anyone while driving in unsafe road conditions to make bouncy castle deliveries.
