Southampton Weather......

Bouncy castles should NOT be used in wet or windy weather. The industry recommend a maximum wind speed of force 5 on the Beaufort Scale (see bottom of page for explanation). 
Force 5 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).
